IGENNUS VegEPA 500 mg 60 caps- 280mg EPA Fish Oil & 200mg Evening Primrose (DHA Free)

VegEPA is a patented formulation containing a unique ratio of ultra-pure EPA from marine fish oil and GLA from organic virgin evening primrose oil, providing a highly concentrated source of omega-3 and omega-6 long-chain fatty acids.  As such, VegEPA  combines the benefits that both these natural substances bring to the body.

Fatty acids play an important part in the functioning of every living cell in the body. Specifically they may help the body in several ways including: improving the circulatory system, aiding concentration, maintaining a balanced mood and keeping joints in good condition.

The EPA in VegEPA is derived from fish oil - the highest yielding source of long-chain omega-3 fats. This fatty acid forms a vital part of the diet as it enables the body to produce many substances that are necessary for health and well-being. EPA also plays a vital role in the structure, development and functioning of the brain. It can benefit sufferers of an array of mental and physical illnesses as well as lowering the risk of many potential health problems.

The EPO in VegEPA is derived from the cold-pressing of evening primrose seeds. When EPO is unprocessed and unrefined it is a rich source of botanical triterpenes - hormone-like substances which play an important role in immune function. EPO is renowned for oiling the joints and nourishing the skin, hair and nails. A rich source of the omega-6 GLA, the importance of EPO in relation to the structure of cell membrances and, consequently, effective cell signalling, cannot be over-emphasised.

VegEPA’s manufacturing process is of the highest standard. Using a molecular distillation process the EPA is extracted from  fish oil - and hence ultra-purified - removing all unwanted substances and impurities including DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). Whilst this omega-3 fatty acid is vital for health, EPA is converted naturally by the body into DHA so it is unnecessary to take DHA in supplement form. Furthermore, some studies have demonstrated that DHA in supplement form inhibits the beneficial effects of EPA.

It is recommended that VegEPA should be taken on a daily basis.
