一般的に知られていること

一般的に知られていること: EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) is a long-chain omega-3 fatty acid found mainly in fish and seafood; it is a structural part of cell membranes and one of the omega-3s the body uses throughout the heart, blood vessels, and other systems.
摂取が少ないとき: The body makes only small amounts of EPA from ALA, so low seafood intake is commonly discussed in relation to lower omega-3 status; a defined shortfall state is rare.
摂取が多いとき: Very high EPA and DHA from supplements is commonly discussed in relation to loose stools, a fishy aftertaste, and easier bleeding among people taking blood thinners; the FDA notes an upper figure of 5 grams a day of combined EPA and DHA from supplements.
