How much epa vascepa contains?

How much EPA is in Vascepa (icosapent ethyl)?

Vascepa (icosapent ethyl) contains 90% eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) by weight. In the usual dosing strength, each 1-gram capsule provides 900 mg of EPA.

Because the capsules are formulated as a highly purified ethyl ester of EPA, the key number people look for is 900 mg of EPA per capsule.

How much EPA do you get per day on common dosing?

If you take the typical regimen of 2 capsules twice daily (4 capsules/day), that equals:

- 4 capsules/day × 900 mg EPA per capsule = 3,600 mg (3.6 g) EPA per day

What to check on the label (in case the product strength differs)?

If you’re looking at a specific package insert, verify both:
- the capsule strength (often 1 gram), and
- the statement that the capsule contains 900 mg EPA (90% EPA)

If you tell me the exact label strength you’re looking at (e.g., “1 gram capsule”), I can translate it into “mg EPA per capsule” and “mg EPA per day” for your dose.
