About this page: Data is drawn from Nutriofia's structured database of published sources (CoFID, USDA, and published analytical literature). The coverage bar shows what percentage of our 1136 foods have been measured for Omega-3 (EPA) — Eicosapentaenoic acid. This is a research tool — nothing here constitutes medical advice.

About Omega-3 (EPA) — Eicosapentaenoic acid

EPA is a long-chain omega-3 fat found mainly in oily fish and algae oils; it is linked to heart and vascular health as part of an overall healthy diet.

⚠️ Too little

No deficiency disease; low intake usually reflects low overall omega-3 exposure, especially if fish/algae sources are absent.

🚫 Too much

High-dose omega-3 supplements can affect bleeding risk in some contexts; food sources are generally safe.
