Pure Encapsulations® EPA/DHA Liquid – Liquid Omega-3 Fatty Acids for Heart, Brain and Vision

Additional product information

Pure Encapsulations® EPA/DHA liquid contains the valuable omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in a high-dose, liquid form.

EPA and DHA are long-chain, polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids and are important components of a balanced diet. They contribute to normal heart function. DHA also supports the maintenance of normal brain function and vision.

The liquid form allows for easy and flexible dosing and is particularly suitable for people who rarely eat fish or do not want to swallow capsules.

Properties and benefits

• Heart function: EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function.

• Brain function: DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function.

• Triglyceride levels: EPA and DHA can help maintain normal blood triglyceride levels when consumed in sufficient amounts.

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Maternal DHA intake contributes to the normal development of the brain and eyes in the fetus and breastfed infant.

• Liquid form: Easy and individually adjustable dosing.

• High-dose: Concentrated omega-3 fatty acids in liquid form.

Omega-3 fatty acids – Important for the body

Omega-3 fatty acids belong to the group of polyunsaturated fatty acids.

The most important examples include:

• EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid): A long-chain omega-3 fatty acid that, together with DHA, contributes to normal heart function.

• DHA (docosahexaenoic acid): An important component of cell membranes, especially in the brain and retina.

• ALA (alpha-linolenic acid): An essential plant-based omega-3 fatty acid from which the body can produce limited amounts of EPA and DHA.

Since the conversion of ALA to EPA and especially DHA is limited, it is advisable to ensure an adequate supply through suitable foods.

EPA and DHA for normal heart function

EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function.

The positive effect is observed with a daily intake of a total of 250 mg of EPA and DHA.

In addition, EPA and DHA can support further functions in lipid metabolism and blood pressure regulation at higher doses.

A daily intake of 3 g of EPA and DHA is required to maintain normal blood pressure. 2 g of EPA and DHA daily are required to maintain normal blood triglyceride levels.

These high intake amounts should not be pursued without professional advice.

DHA for brain and vision

DHA is an important component of the cell membranes in the brain and the retina of the eye.

It contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision.

The positive effect is observed with a daily intake of 250 mg of DHA.

Omega-3 during pregnancy and breastfeeding

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, an adequate DHA supply is particularly important.

Maternal intake of DHA contributes to the normal development of the brain and eyes in the fetus and breastfed infant.

This positive effect is observed with an additional daily intake of 200 mg of DHA beyond the recommended daily intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA for adults.

Omega-3 fatty acids in the diet

EPA and DHA occur mainly in fatty marine fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, and sardines.

A balanced diet with regular fish consumption can help provide these fatty acids.

Those who rarely eat fish or do not like the taste can use suitable omega-3 dietary supplements if needed.
