cis-5,8,11,14,17-eicosapentaenoic acid*sodium app

Description:
Cis-5,8,11,14,17-eicosapentaenoic acid, commonly known as EPA, is a polyunsaturated fatty acid belonging to the omega-3 family. It is characterized by a long carbon chain consisting of 20 carbon atoms and five double bonds, which are in the cis configuration. This structure contributes to its fluidity and reactivity, making it an essential component in cell membranes and a precursor for bioactive lipid mediators. The sodium salt form, indicated by "sodium app," suggests that it is used in various applications, including dietary supplements and pharmaceuticals, where it may enhance solubility and stability. EPA is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and potential cardiovascular benefits, making it a focus of nutritional research. It is typically derived from marine sources, such as fish oil, and is recognized for its role in promoting overall health. The CAS number 73167-03-0 specifically identifies this compound, facilitating its recognition in scientific literature and regulatory contexts.
