Abstract: The present invention provides a kit for the dietary management of cardiovascular patients with cardiovascular disease who are deficient in blood Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) levels, said kit including a diagnostic assay for determining blood levels of EPA, DHA and Docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) and a pharmaceutical grade prescription medical food omega-3 fatty acid formulation containing about 90% or more omega 3 fatty acids by weight including a combination of EPA, DPA and DHA in a weight ratio of EPA:DHA of from 5.7 to 6.3, wherein the sum of the EPA, DHA and DPA are about 82% by weight of the total formulation and about 92% of the total omega 3 fatty acid content of the composition.

Abstract: A formulation for treating omega-3 fatty acid deficiency is disclosed containing about 90% or more omega 3 fatty acids by weight comprised of a combination of Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), Docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in a weight ratio of EPA:DHA of from 5.7 to 6.3, wherein the sum of the EPA, DHA and DPA comprise about 82% by weight of the total formulation and about 92% of the total omega 3 fatty acid content of the composition. EPA+DHA are about 80% of the total formulation and about 89% of the total omega 3 fatty acid content of the composition. The formulation may further contain specific amounts of arachidonic acid (AA) and of omega-3 fatty acids having 18 carbon atoms, including one or more of stearidonic acid (SDA) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).
