Summary

The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the absorption of omega-3 fatty acids into the blood following consumption of krill oil compared with fish oil and placebo.

Detailed description

The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the absorption of omega-3 fatty acids into the blood following consumption of krill oil compared with fish oil and placebo. An additional purpose is to evaluate the lipid-lowering efficacy and safety of consumption of Krill Oil and Fish Oil to a placebo product. It has been shown that the ingestion of Krill Oil leads to better absorption of omega-3 fatty acids compared to ingestion of Fish Oil. It was also shown that consumption of krill oil and fish oil result in a favorable modification of lipid profiles. Therefore, it is anticipated that consumption of these krill oil and fish oil will improve lipid profile, as well as other health-related markers and will be safe and well tolerated.
