Harp Seal Oil
Proudly Canadian, Premium Quality, Proven Effectiveness, Backed by Research.
Studies have shown that the same health results are achieved using just 1/10th the amount of DPA compared to EPA:

Docosapentaenoic acid (22:5, n-3), an elongation metabolite of eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5, n-3), is a potent stimulator of endothelial cell migration on pretreatment in vitro.
