Synonyms: EPA, (5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)-eicosapentaenoic acid, all-cis-5,8,11,14,17-eicosapentaenoic acid, 20:5n-3, timnodonic acid
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is a long-chain omega-3 fatty acid characterized by a 20-carbon backbone and five cis double bonds. It is primarily sourced from marine oils, such as those from anchovy, sardine, and cod liver, and is often produced in high-purity grades through advanced purification techniques. As a pharmaceutical and nutraceutical ingredient, EPA is available in various concentrations, with ≥99% purity achievable for research and clinical applications.
In the global B2B market, EPA is valued for its well-established role in cardiovascular health, inflammation modulation, and metabolic support. It is a key component in omega-3 concentrates, prescription medications, and dietary supplements. Its stability and bioavailability make it a preferred choice for formulators targeting heart health, joint health, and overall wellness.
