EPA/DHA Vegetarian contains the first vegetarian derived eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) offered in a vegetarian, liquid-filled Caplique® Capsule. While most EPA and DHA essential fatty acids are obtained from fish oil, vegetable derived EPA and DHA are extracted from microalgae, the fish’s original food source, under tightly controlled food manufacturing conditions.

Decades of research indicate higher plasma levels of EPA and DHA are associated with cardiovascular health, platelet function, joint comfort, memory and skin health.*

Uses For EPA/DHA Vegetarian Heart Health:

EPA and DHA encourage cardiovascular health by supporting triglyceride metabolism, maintaining healthy blood flow and promoting healthy platelet function. Studies indicate essential fatty acids help maintain blood vessel integrity and arterial function. One study also suggests EPA may moderate protein kinase C, supporting arterial smooth muscle cells.* Joint Health: Essential fatty acids promote healthy arachidonic acid metabolism to support joint function and comfort. Research suggests that they modulate immune mediator activity as well as provide support for joint flexibility.*

Emotional Well-being:

Omega-3 fatty acids have demonstrated the potential to support emotional well-being and cognitive health. Research indicates that higher plasma levels of EPA have been associated with healthy mood.*

Gastrointestinal Tract Comfort:

Studies suggest that omega-3 fatty acids may play a role in maintaining healthy gastrointestinal function and comfort by supporting healthy eicosanoid production.*

Skin Health:

Omega-3 fatty acids protect keratinocytes and skin fibroblasts from free radicals and immune mediators generated by sun exposure. Additionally, they help promote elasticity and hydration for smoother looking skin.* What Is The Source? EPA and DHA are derived from microalgae. Ascorbyl palmitate is derived from corn dextrose fermentation and palm oil. Tocopherols are derived from highly purified soybean oil.
