The active compounds responsible for the widespread benefits of fish oil supplementation have been identified as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). While both are important for various aspects of human health, EPA is generally considered the anti-inflammatory fatty acid while DHA is more responsible for neurodevelopment and nerve protection.
EPA and DHA have been clinically studied in a variety of health conditions. For example, supplementation with these omega-3 fatty acids has been shown to benefit cardiovascular health, rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmunity, cognition, mood, skin health, and atopic problems, to name a few clinical indications. Simply put, EPA and DHA should be considered for any systemic inflammatory condition.
One challenge with omega-3 fatty acid supplementation is poor adherence. Most supplements require multiple capsules or teaspoons per day to achieve an evidence-based dose of EPA and DHA. Cyto-Matrix's Peak-EPA solves this problem by providing 700 mg of EPA and 350 mg of DHA in a single softgel. These omega-3 fatty acids, sourced from wild-caught sardines, salmon, and anchovies, are in the well-researched ethyl ester form, allowing for evidence-based, highly concentrated, and cost-effective delivery.
Peak-EPA is molecularly distilled, ensuring purity and the removal of harmful compounds such as heavy metals and organophosphates. Vitamin E is added to the formula to protect and prevent oxidation.
