This purified omega-3 fatty acid ethyl ester, derived from fish oil, is used to reduce cardiovascular risk in adults with elevated triglycerides alongside statin therapy. Unlike other fish oil supplements, it contains only EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) without DHA, which is thought to contribute to its unique cardiovascular benefits. It has been shown to significantly reduce major adverse cardiovascular events.
