Eicosapentaenoic Acid is a long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid that reduces prostaglandins to help prevent clogged arteries, acts as a precursor for thromboxane-3 to improve the dilation of arteries and supports the regulation of the immune responder leukotriene-5. EPA also supports optimal performance of the neurotransmitters needed for the nervous system to communicate effectively. |

Docosahexaenoic Acid is a long-chain, polyunsaturated fatty acid stored primarily in the brain and retina of the eye. The brain is composed mostly of fat (60 percent) and DHA represents 30 percent of the fat, making it a critical component of the brain. This essential nutrient is crucial for brain development, maintaining brain function and contributing to visual acuity. |
