PlusEPA
PlusEPA is a highly concentrated (95%) omega-3 food supplement (500 mg EPA) that supports your emotional balance.
Several studies have shown that people who suffer from depressive moods often have low levels of essential fatty acid EPA in their blood and tissues.(1)
Therefore the American Psychiatric Association recommends a daily dose of omega-3 for patients with depressive disorders.(2)
