How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Icosapent Ethyl). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Studies suggest that EPA reduces hepatic very low-density lipoprotein triglycerides (VLDL-TG) synthesis and/or secretion and enhances TG clearance from circulating VLDL particles.
Potential mechanisms of action include increased β-oxidation; inhibition of acyl-CoA:1,2-diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT); decreased lipogenesis in the liver; and increased plasma lipoprotein lipase activity.
EPA is mainly metabolized by the liver via beta-oxidation similar to dietary fatty acids.
Icosapent ethyl was administered with or following a meal in all clinical studies; no food effect studies were performed.
