A growing library of the omega-3 research we're following — summarized and categorized so you can find what matters to you.
Salmon and krill phospholipids differ in EPA/DHA ratios and liposome particle size, but both show promise as stable carriers for omega-3 delivery systems.
In a mouse colitis model, krill oil reduced inflammation and reshaped gut bacteria and metabolite patterns linked to gut lining health.
Krill oil's phospholipid-bound omega-3s, low contaminant profile, and added nutrients like choline and astaxanthin may support multiple aspects of healthy aging.
In diabetic mice, six months of krill oil supplementation improved blood sugar and insulin resistance while reducing inflammatory macrophage activity in fat tissue.
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.
This review summarizes research on krill oil's effects on inflammation, blood sugar, lipids, and muscle function, along with new encapsulation methods to improve its delivery.
