re: Contraindications to use in epiphyseal areas

Hi Graham. Yes all I remember is being taught that EPA over epiphyseal growth plates was contraindicated in adolescents (anyone during the growth phases). I think the reason was that it disturbed the osteoblastic/clastic/...istic activity in the bone and cartilage directions. I'm not near a text book right now but I look into a reference and get back to you
