Eicosapentaenoic Acid (sodium salt)

EPA is an omega-3 fatty acid abundantly available in marine organisms. It is oxygenated by COX-1 and COX-2 at rates of approximately 5% and 30%, respectively, compared to arachidonic acid (Cay-90010). EPA has been shown to offer protection against coronary heart disease, thrombosis, ischemic brain injury, scaly dermatitis, and some inflammatory diseases.Formal Name: 5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z-eicosapentaenoic acid, monosodium salt.
