What are the properties of DPA in supplements?

The properties of DPA

Docosapentaenoic Acid (DPA) designates any straight chain 22:5 fatty acid, that is a straight chain open chain type of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) which contains 22 carbons and 5 double bonds.

Mammals, including humans, can not interconvert these two classes and therefore must obtain dietary essential PUFA fatty acids from both classes in order to maintain normal health.

Sources of Docosapentaenoic Acid in diet:

  • Fatty fish and products made from fatty fish.
  • Liver of white fish.
  • Seal oil.
  • Seafood and algae.
