Eicosapentaenoic Acid - omega-3 fatty acid with potent anti-inflammatory properties
We rank EPA by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.
EPA, or Eicosapentaenoic Acid, is a type of omega-3 fatty acid. These are essential fats that the body cannot make on its own, meaning they must be obtained through diet or supplements.
It is primarily used for its potent anti-inflammatory properties. This means it helps reduce inflammation in the body, which can be useful for managing joint health or supporting heart function.
To create the supplement, oils are extracted from fatty fish or algae. These oils undergo a process called molecular distillation, which is a way of heating the oil under a vacuum to remove impurities and concentrate the specific EPA fatty acids into a pure powder or liquid.
This ingredient is generally mid-range in price. This is because the raw materials must be sourced from high-quality fish or algae and require specialized refining processes to ensure the oil does not spoil.
