Mega EPA/DHA softgels are a convenient way to take EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) in a concentrated form. The fatty free acid form of omega-3 rich fish oils in Life Extension Mega EPA/DHA allows for optimal absorption.

Fatty acids are essential for life, and the body naturally produces all but two: linoleic acid (LA), an omega-6, and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3.1 These fatty acids must be supplied through the diet for the body to maintain proper levels of them, and as a result, they are recognized as essential fatty acids.

Omega-3 fatty acids are found in cold water fish, fish oil, perilla, and flaxseed oils.2 However, these EPA and DHA rich foods are not common in Western diets. Typical Western diets contain an abundant amount of omega-6 fats, which are essential for the body but should not be consumed in excess compared to omega-3 consumption. When both essential fatty acids are consumed in similar amounts the best health effects are seen.3

Research has linked the Mediterranean diet – abundant in omega-3 fatty acids, and the monounsaturated fatty acids like those found in olive oil, vegetables, herbs, and fruits abundant in antioxidants – with decreased cardiovascular risk and improved life span.4-8 Further research lends credence to omega-3’s impact on cardiovascular health.9-10

Mega EPA/DHA softgels provide EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). Molecularly distilled Mega EPA/DHA contains double the EPA and DHA as many “off the shelf” fish oil capsules.
