A description of the experience
Lovaza is a brand name prescription drug.
It is synthesized from fish body oils, typically from oily fish such as mackerel and anchovy. It is approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) to lower very high triglyceride levels. It is a pro-drug that is metabolized into Omega-3 fatty acids and ethanol. "It is not a dietary supplement". It is a pharmaceutical drug with the two main active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) being EPA-ethyl ester and DHA-ethyl ester.
After the esterification process, molecular distillation is used to decrease organic pollutants, methylmercury, arsenic or other pollutants that are often seen in the world's oceans. Each capsule weighs (drug product) 1.43089 g and contains 0.99461 grams of liquid. This is composed of 465 mg EPA ethyl ester and 375 mg DHA ethyl ester.
