In lab tests, EPA—but not DHA—protected dog intestinal cells from oxidative damage, inflammation, and premature aging.
A narrative review finds omega-3, vitamin D3, and vitamin K2 share biological pathways linking heart, brain, and bone aging, but no trial has proven the combination beats individual nutrients or placebo.
Krill oil's phospholipid-bound omega-3s, low contaminant profile, and added nutrients like choline and astaxanthin may support multiple aspects of healthy aging.
A research review links dietary DHA/EPA to multiple brain-aging pathways, with the clearest benefits seen in people who start with low omega-3 status.
Six months of krill oil supplementation was linked to greater increases in leg strength, grip strength, and thigh muscle thickness compared to placebo in older adults.
In a large Japanese cohort, seafood and omega-3 fatty acid intake showed no significant link to age-related hearing loss.
