Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA, Eicosapentaenoic Acid) is one
of several omega*3 fatty acids commonly used in the human body.
The daily diet of our ancestors is relatively deficient in
omega*3 fatty acids compared to the daily diet of our ancestors.
The main
source of omega*3 fatty acids in our
daily diet is cold water fish (such as wild salmon). Fish oil
supplements can also increase the concentration of EPA in the
body.
