What are the benefits of EPA? I use this supplement for everyday and one tablet per day.

EPA, or eicosapentaenoic acid, is one of the long chain Omega-3 polyunsaturates found mainly in the oil from fish. Having a small amount of EPA and its related polyunsaturate DHA, or docosahexaenoic acid, (e.g. 650mg/day) is reckoned by those scientists studying this subject to be a sensible dietary goal. This amount will provide some protection from heart disease, and perhaps cancer, depression and other common ills. Could you give more info on products enriched with Omega-3 - e.g. bread, spread, milk, juices The availability of ordinary foods fortified with small amounts of Fish Oils varies from one country to another, but in general is increasing all the time, as awareness of the health benefits of the long chain Omega-3 polyunsaturates spreads. In the Asian/Pacific region, there are milks, yoghurts, and fruit juices available containing the Omega-3s. In the U.S. and Europe there are eggs, spreads, and juices available. In Scandinavia and Australia there are breads and eggs available. In Britain at present there are only eggs with an enhanced Omega-3 level.
