An Introduction
MorEPA® - High Purity, Less Unnecessary Fat
Ordinary fish oil consists of 30% of omega-3 fatty acids that are valuable, and 70% of surplus fat.
500mg to 1000mg is the recommended daily amount of omega-3 fatty acids, so to achieve this you would need to take 1500mg to 3000mg of ordinary fish oil a day (i.e. 3 to 6 small oil capsules, or 1.5 to 3 large oil capsules).
The unnecessary fat simply increases the number of capsules you need to take and adds to your calorific intake. And may even have unwanted side effects (e.g. diarrhea, flatulence etc.)
| MorEPA soft fish oil: up to more than 75% of highly purified omega-3 fatty acids MorEPA contains three times more EPA than ordinary fish oil |

Ordinary fish oil consists of 30% omega-3 fatty acids & 70% of surplus fat |
MorEPA fish oil softgels, on the other hand, contain highly purified omega-3 fatty acids with a total of more than 75%......
Which Means....
 .... the superfluous fat intake compared to fish oil can be reduced,
and instead of three to five capsules a day you need only one MorEPA softgel.
If you prefer to eat a daily portion of fish as your sole source of EPA/DHA, then in order to reach 800mg of EPA/DHA (as recommended in a 2400 kcal diet), you would need to consume around 230 grams of oily fish or 860 grams of ordinary fish to reach this quantity
MorEPA® possesses very specific characteristics:
- MorEPA contains three times more EPA than ordinary fish oil
- Not less than 78% omega-3 fatty acids
- EPA/DHA ratio is at least 5.5:1
- MorEPA is less expensive
- MorEPA is 100% pure and natural
- Gelatin is from fish bones
- Rigorous purification by means of a unique CO2 Extraction process.
- No aftertaste
- No trace of toxic elements
Recent studies have indicated that EPA and DHA may play a decisive role in the prevention of arteriosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, depression and other diseases typical in the western world.
EPA
A diet rich in EPA is beneficial for the heart and circulation, and may help with hormonal balance as well as immune system functioning:
DHA
- Maintains flexibility and function of the membranes, which in turn regulates cell receptors
- Enhances normal growth and cognitive development
- Is involved in the development, composition and functioning of the central nervous system.
- DHA plays a very important role during pregnancy, in child development, in the elderly, and in patients who suffer from peroxisomal disorders.
New Recommendations about Fatty Acids
Of the energy the body uses that comes from fat, proportions should be:
- Saturated fatty acids: Less than 10%
- Mono-unsaturated fatty acids: Less than 10%
- Poly-unsaturated fatty acids: 5.30 to 10%
-
Omega-3 fatty acids: 1.3 to 2.0%
- Alpha-linolenic acid: More than 1 %
- EPA: More than 0.3%
- Trans fatty acids: less than 1% (target 0%)
- Cholesterol: Less than 300 mg/daily
MorEPA is available in two convenient formats:
 |
MorEPA® Smartfats
Ideal for older children & adults*
Is a highly concentrated EPA food supplement (minimum 500 mg EPA per capsule), which is supplemented with lipid stabilising antioxidants. Natural lemon oil gives it a pleasant taste. MorEPA is the ideal supplement for anyone requiring a maximum dose of EPA.
Due to their larger size (approx. 1 inch long), MorEPA Smartfats are most suitable for larger children and adults. However, the oil can be expressed from the capsule if preferred.

MorEPA® Minis - with Evening Primrose Oil
Ideal for children from approx. 5 years to 12 years
Is a highly concentrated EPA food supplement (minimum 238 mg EPA per capsule). Natural strawberry flavouring gives it a pleasant taste.
Due to its smaller sized soft gel capsule, MorEPA Minis are suitable for younger children and adults. However, the oil can be expressed from the capsule if preferred.
Unlike MorEPA Smartfats, each MorEPA Mini capsule also contains 10mg of GLA from Evening Primrose Oil. An ideal choice for children to ensure that they get their daily dose of EPA.
