Description
Minami Nutrition Epacor Science is an omega-3 ethyl ester medication. EPACOR is an exact replica of a NHS approved medication called OMACOR which has been scientifically proven and accepted to reduce the production of a type of fat called ‘triglycerides’ , particularly LDL which is the ‘bad fat’ compared to HDL which is a ‘good fat’ - not all fats are bad for you.
EPACOR is comprised of eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), the two major beneficial omega-3 fatty acids. EPA and DHA are more commonly referred to as ‘omega-3’ fatty acids which are found in marine sources such as oily fish. EPACOR also contains a Vitamin E anti oxidant called tocopherol to help increase bioavailability.
Omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA are ‘essential’ fatty acids, meaning the body cannot produce them itself and must be obtained through diet. Omega-3 fatty acid research has been ongoing for many years with more than 10,000 case studies involving the use of omega-3 fatty acids. There has been extensive evidence to show omega-3’s can be beneficial for a number of conditions, affecting all major parts of the human body as omega-3 fatty acids are in every cell.
Minami Nutrition’s EPACOR can have a positive effect on the heart and blood circulation by potentially reducing LDL triglycerides. High levels of LDL triglycerides (hypertriglyceridaemia) can give way to various heart diseases and lead to blood circulation issues. The ratio of LDL cholesterol to HDL cholesterol is hugely important, influencing the extent of cardiovascular risk.
Clinical research has shown that the ratio of EPA:DHA contained in Minami Nutrition’s EPACOR provides a positive impact in reducing LDL cholesterol. Omega-3 fatty acids can reduce the production of thromboxane, a chemical which is responsible for platelets to clump together, contributing to the process of blood-clotting which is associated with causing heart attacks and other cardiovascular diseases. A reduction in thromboxane may therefore reduce the formation of clots which can cause heart attacks.
Omega-3 ethyl esters like Minami Nutrition’s EPACOR have been known to improve survival rates in patients who have suffered from a heart attack, by reducing the risk of a secondary heart attack. EPACOR can be used in conjunction with standard medication prescribe for post-heart attacks and statins for cholesterol lowering.
Minami Nutrition’s EPACOR can be used to treat elevated triglyceride levels only if dietary changes have been applied but proven to have insufficient benefits.
