Our bodies cannot produce EPA or DHA, which we can get through diet and supplementation. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) have different roles and actions in the body. Not only do our bodies need these fatty acids to function, but they also deliver certain health benefits. DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision and brain function while DHA and EPA together contribute to the normal function of the heart and other vital functions in the body. This product contains 30 veg softgels and is suitable for vegans as well.
