Docosahexaenoic acid aggravates photooxidative damage in retinal pigment epithelial cells via lipid peroxidation [abstract].
Canned salmon contains 1 to 1.3 grams of EPA and DHA (eicosapentaenoic acid and

In a study of 400 older adults with mild to moderate AD, halt of the subjects took a component offish oil called

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and

According to the companies, TAK-085 is a highly concentrated preparation of the ethyl esters of omega-3 fatty acids which are predominantly a combination of ethyl esters of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and
docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
Researchers reviewed data from a broad range of studies in 10 000s of patients, and found that most evidence for their cardioprotective benefits supports the use of the long-chain fatty acids DHA (
docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid).
Omega-3 fatty acids, such as
docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), appear to be an essential ingredient for optimal physical and mental development.
