Eicosapentaenoic acid, commonly referred to as EPA, is an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid. It is predominantly found in marine oils, such as those derived from fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, sardines, and anchovies, as well as in certain algae. EPA is an important nutrient that the body cannot synthesize on its own but is indispensable, and has a variety of health benefits.
