What does it do?

Omega-3 fatty acid ethyl esters are primarily the ethyl ester form of omega-3 fatty acids extracted from fish, used to lower blood triglyceride levels. This component is classified as an anti-atherosclerotic agent that helps prevent cardiovascular diseases.

This component reduces triglyceride synthesis in the liver and promotes its breakdown, thereby lowering the concentration of triglycerides in the blood. It also alters the size and composition of lipid particles in the blood, inhibiting the progression of atherosclerosis.
