Taking an active role in

Omega-3 Science

Epax® supports unbiased science. The safety and efficacy of our products have been demonstrated in over 100 peer-reviewed clinical studies ― more than any other marine Omega-3 company. This body of research covers a wide range of categories, including cardiovascular health, joint health, dementia, obstetrics and immunology.
