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.
