A growing library of the omega-3 research we're following — summarized and categorized so you can find what matters to you.
A new chromatography method purified Antarctic krill oil phospholipids to over 95% purity with 81% recovery.
In a cell-based study, krill oil showed the largest improvement in glucose uptake among krill oil, fish oil, and soy lecithin, alongside changes in insulin-signaling proteins.
In obese rats, krill oil supplementation lowered blood cholesterol and reversed diet-induced changes in sortilin and TNF-α levels in the liver and fat tissue.
At the same dose, krill oil raised blood EPA and DHA levels about 1.5 times more than fish oil over 12 weeks.
In obese mice, krill oil's omega-3 phospholipids increased intestinal fat-burning and reduced body weight and liver fat more effectively than omega-3 triglycerides.
12 weeks of krill oil raised the Omega-3 Index from 4.8% to 6.8% and improved choline recovery and antioxidant response after intense exercise in power athletes.
