SEP EFA is indicated for conditions associated with cardiovascular disorders, including hypertension, angina, high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, strokes, arrhythmias, arterial plaque buildup, high cholesterol and blood clotting; and for diabetic complications such as retinal damage, gangrene and kidney disorders.
Deficiency in essential fatty acids may cause hardening of the arteries and heart, leading to cardiovascular disease. SEP EFA contains a high concentration of eicosapentenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexenoic acid (DHA) from salmon oil for maximum support and maintenance of cardiovascular and neurological health. Studies show that EPA is needed by the body for the production of PG3 prostaglandins, which possess potent anti-clotting and aggregating properties.

How are Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) broken down in the body? Does it require much work from the liver?
EFAs are broken down in the gut (hydrolyzed) and the individual fatty acids are absorbed by the enterocytes lining the GI tract. The enterocytes assemble the fatty acids and glycerol into triglycerides.The triglycerides and other fat soluble nutrients are collected and assembled into chylomicrons, which are absorbed by the lacteals (lymphatic vessels of the small intestines). The chylomicrons flow with the lymph into the blood and reaches every tissue in the body. In the tissues the triglycerides are absorbed in a similar way as triglycerides are absorbed by the enterocytes. In the tissues the fatty acids can be metabolized into for example local hormones.
The hydrolization process in the gut requires lipase secreted by the pancreas and bile synthesized in the liver and secreted from the gallbladder.

Within a week of starting the fish oils my finger nails started to shine and look so healthy. My skin also got a glowing tone. Best of all, the pills don't give you a fishy after taste.
