Please note, this OEL/ADE monograph also applies to (all-cis)- 5,8,11,14,17- Eicosapentaenoic acid (CAS RN 10417-94-4), Docosahexaenoic acid (CAS RN 6217-54-5/ 25167- 62-8), Alpha-linolenic acid (CAS RN 463-40-1), Omega 3 fatty acid (mixture of EPA and DHA) (CAS RN 308064-99-5). Omega-3 fatty acids preparations are available as capsules, tablets, oral liquid, and as an injectable emulsion. Omega-3 (or n-3) fatty acids are long-chain (LC) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) containing 18 to 22 carbon atoms (C18-C22) and a varying number of double bonds, the first of which is in the n-3 position. They are essential fatty acids and must be obtained from the diet. They have an important role as eicosanoid precursors and as components of cell membrane. Currently, the 3 most clinically relevant omega-3 PUFAs are ALA, EPA, and DHA and are derived from marine fish. Purified omega-3 fatty acid preparations and fish oils are used in patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia and for secondary prevention after myocardial infarction. They are marketed as dietary supplements and are also used in preparations for parenteral nutrition. Omega-3 fatty acids preparations are available as capsules, tablets, oral liquid, and as an injectable emulsion.
