Eicosapentaenoic Acid (peroxide free)

EPA is an omega-3 fatty acid abundantly available in marine organisms. It is oxygenated by COX-1 and COX-2 at rates of about 5% and 30%, respectively, compared to arachidonic acid. EPA has been shown to offer protection against coronary heart disease, thrombosis, ischemic brain injury, scaly dermatitis, and some inflammatory diseases. Eicosapentaenoic acid (peroxide free) contains the antioxidant BHT (Cay-89910). BHT-free eicosapentaenoic acid (Cay-90110, Cay-21908) is also available.Formal Name: 5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z-eicosapentaenoic acid. CAS Number: 10417-94-4.
