While most people understand the value of omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, it turns out there is another fatty acid that may be just as important. It's called docosapentaenoic acid, or DPA, and new research suggests it plays an important role in helping other fatty acids work within the body while providing its own unique benefits. Different fish oils contain different levels of DPA, which may explain the differences in benefits noted in scientific studies.

Regular fish oil used in supplements such as sardine and salmon oil often contains no more than 3% DPA, while others contain less than 1%. An industry award winner for innovation in omega-3 supplementation, Swanson Super DPA Fish Oil is made from high-DPA fish that is 70% omega-3, providing 450 mg DHA, 85 mg DPA and 45 mg EPA per every 1000 mg. capsule. If you take another fish oil supplement, you may be missing out on an important part of your omega-3 balance. Switch to Swanson for complete nutrition with essential fatty acids.
