Many oily fish naturally contain more EPA than DHA, and BalanceOil follows a similar fatty-acid profile.
The fish oil we use is a 20/10 EPA/DHA grade, which is slightly more EPA-rich than the standard 18/12 profile commonly used in fish-oil supplements.

This profile reflects the fatty-acid composition typically found in marine foods such as anchovies, sardines, and mackerel — foods that have long been associated with the nutritional benefits linked to EPA and DHA.

Both EPA and DHA are important long-chain omega-3 fatty acids that become incorporated into cell membranes throughout the body.
Research suggests that EPA and DHA often work together within the same biological systems, rather than acting as completely separate nutrients.

For this reason, many nutrition scientists consider a balanced marine EPA+DHA intake similar to that obtained from fatty fish to be a practical nutritional model — one in which EPA can be equal to or higher than DHA.
