SHE NEVER SAID VACSCEPA IS FISH OIL

Meanwhile it is …

The Synthetically Produced Omega-3 Products, like Vascepa®, are derived from common fish oil. Common fish oil includes omega-3 fatty acids in their natural triglyceride form (“nTG-OM3”), such as EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) in its natural triglyceride form (“nTGEPA”) and docosahexaenoic acid (“DHA”) in its natural triglyceride form (“nTG-DHA”). Although the Synthetically Produced Omega-3 Products are derived from common fish oil, they are not the same as common fish oil. …

Omega-3 fatty acids are a category of polyunsaturated fatty acids that include EPA and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids are marketed, legally and illegally, in the United States in a number of different mixtures and molecular forms. Common mixtures and molecular forms include the following:
(i) common fish oil (i.e., a natural omega-3 mixture (“nTG-OM3”)),
(ii) purified EPA mixtures in their ethyl ester form (“E-EPA”),
(iii) purified EPA mixtures in their re-esterified form (“rTG-EPA”),
(iv) omega-3 mixtures in their ethyl ester form (“E-OM3”), and
(v) omega-3 mixtures in their re-esterified form (“rTG-OM3”).

Although common fish oil contains omega-3 fatty acids in their natural triglyceride form (nTG-OM3) – E-EPA, rTG-EPA, E-OM3, and rTGOM3 are synthetically produced through processes involving a number of chemical reactions.

Common fish oil and fish oil are not the same ...
