K85EE Omega-3-acid ethyl esters - US Market
Omega-3-acid ethyl esters (K85EE) as an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API), specified for the US Market
K85EE Omega-3-acid ethyl esters (K85EE) is a light-yellow liquid comprised of 430-495 mg/g eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and 347-403 mg/g docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). The content of EPA and DHA ethyl esters is 800-880 mg/g and the content of total omega-3-acid ethyl esters is a minimum of 90 per cent. Tocopherol is added as an antioxidant. K85EE is a highly concentrated, unsaturated oil. It oxidizes readily in contact with air and is, therefore, filled in drums purged with nitrogen. It is well suited for use in soft gelatin capsules as the sole fill material.
