A growing library of the omega-3 research we're following — summarized and categorized so you can find what matters to you.
Across 20 trials, omega-3 more consistently reduced arterial stiffness at higher doses (1.8-4g/day) taken for 12+ weeks, especially in higher-risk populations.
In a lab digestion model, omega-3 ethyl esters broke down far more efficiently when mixed with dietary fat molecules, suggesting fat co-ingestion aids omega-3 release from ethyl ester supplements.
Vegetarians and vegans convert plant-based ALA into EPA/DHA inefficiently, yet often maintain healthy cardiometabolic profiles, and algae-derived omega-3s can help raise their omega-3 status.
Engineered probiotic bacteria that produce the omega-3 derived molecule resolvin E1 reduced inflammation and protected gut tissue in mouse models of colitis and acute inflammation.
Feeding dairy cows coated algae powder increased omega-3 levels and antioxidant capacity in milk while altering its flavor and fat composition.
A new modeling framework shows that small amounts of certain algae products could meet meaningful portions of daily omega-3 intake targets, but real-world consumption remains low and inconsistent.
