Regulatory evidence across markets

None of the 13 markets tracked here holds an imported rule under the name EICOSAPENTAENOIC ACID.

That is a statement about this inventory, not about the law: no imported rule is not evidence that a substance is permitted. A rule may exist under a different name, under a CAS or EC number this glossary entry does not carry, or in a dataset not yet imported.

Icosapent

All-cis-5,8,11,14,17-icosapentaenoic acid is an icosapentaenoic acid having five cis-double bonds at positions 5, 8, 11, 14 and 17. It has a role as a micronutrient, an antidepressant, an antineoplastic agent, an anticholesteremic drug, a nutraceutical, a mouse metabolite, a fungal metabolite and a Daphnia galeata metabolite. It is an omega-3 fatty acid and an icosapentaenoic acid. It is a conjugate acid of an all-cis-5,8,11,14,17-icosapentaenoate. — ChEBI
