EPA (short for eicosapentaenoic) is one of the most
deficient elements of the common man’s diet,
a long-chain Omega-3 essential fatty acid that fish
oil happens to be quite rich in.
Omega 3 Fish Oil Benefits
When the human body is woefully short on EPA, it
tends to produce other eicosanoids that are not quite
beneficial to your health. These eicosanoids have
been linked to several unfavorable health conditions.
Meanwhile, the EPA found in fish oils is an invaluable
commodity for preventing heart diseases and circulatory
troubles.
And when it comes to combating the production of
these “bad” eicosanoids, the EPA have
proven to be considerably more effective than alpha
linolenic acid (ALA) and other such shorter-chain
Omega-3 fatty acids. In fact, ALA, which is found
in flax seed oil, is only one-tenth as effective in
this process as the EPA is in fish oil.
Also, high amounts of ALA in the system have been
known to block the favorable eicosanoids like EPA
from being produced.
Fish oil is well received as the ideal source for
EPA anywhere on the market. While fish certainly attains
high doses of EPA, it also contains less desirable
elements, things like hazardous pesticides and PCBs.
While many fishes that you buy on the market –
cod, salmon, haddock – may contain these pesticides,
your Zone Perfect fish oil tablets are guaranteed to
be free of such hazards.
Molecular distillation is what removes the PCPs found
in fish oil, and the folks at Zone Perfect have insured
that the expensive process is performed upon production
of its supplement. Not only that, Zone Perfect also
packs its fish oil tablets with high doses of Vitamin
E as well.
Zone Perfect, which also offers a Zone
nutrition program, recommends that its supplement
be used in coalition with its diet program.
Zone Perfect Fish Oil Capsule Facts
The Zone Perfect fish oil tablets contain 160 mg of
EPA and 107 mg of DHA within each 1000 mg tablet.
In order to attain sufficient daily doses of EPA,
one would have to consume tremendous amounts of fish
every day, fish like cod and salmon, thus increasing
the chances of being afflicted with harmful pesticides
and PCBs. Whereas the daily recommendation from most
doctors is 200-400 mg of EPA every day, the capsules
are ideal for those who do not regularly eat mackeral,
cod, salmon, herring or other cold water fishes.

Ingredient Details:
Zone Perfect Molecular Distilled Fish Oil capsules
contain additional natural Vitamin E in order to prevent
depletion of internal Vitamin E levels that can occur
with ingestion of any supplemental fish oil.
The vitamin E that helps combat the pesticides and
herbicides is ten times the amount (20 IU per capsule)
in Zone Perfect’s product than it is in standard
fish oil tablets.
While it is recommended that you take at least two
capsules per day, during your meals, if you are planning
to embark on the Zone nutrition program, for the first
month of the diet, you should be supplementing with
four capsules per day.
The ultimate objective to be obtained through the
use of Zone Perfect fish oil is to create a healthy
balance of eicosanoids. When you attain this balance,
it will allow for a boost in energy as well as an
improved athletic ability. Also, this fish oil can
provide for mental sharpness and a clearer complexion.
Other products we recommend from the Zone Perfect
crew are the helpful publications “Enter
the Zone”, and “Mastering
the Zone”.
