Why is Seal oil superior to fish oil as a source of Omega-3?
Seal oil is a superior source of Omega -3 compared to fish in many ways. DPA is present at very low levels in fish oils relative to EPA or DHA but is almost as important as either the EPA or the DHA. Harp Seal oil can supply up to 10(ten) times more DPA than fish oils, About a third of the long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids circulating in human blood is attributable to DPA. Because of this, DPA has become of interest to medical researchers in both France and Japan. It seems that in the blood vessel walls, EPA may actually be converted to DPA as the effective agent.
