A growing library of the omega-3 research we're following — summarized and categorized so you can find what matters to you.
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.
A high omega-3 maternal diet increased DHA-rich brain phospholipids and improved neuronal membrane structure in mouse fetuses during gestation.
In a small trial, omega-3 (EPA+DHA) supplementation for four weeks raised blood omega-3 levels and was studied for its effects on protein breakdown and rebuilding in adults with COPD.
Two specific phosphatidylcholine molecules in blood strongly correlate with the Omega-3 Index, offering a potential shortcut for measuring omega-3 status.
