Clinical study shows that bioavailability of EPA/DHA from krill oil is superior to fish oil

摘要

Olympic Seafood AS, a fishing company based on the Norwegian west coast, has published a randomized, single-dose, cross-over trial in Lipids in Health and Disease~* which documents the bioavailability of fatty acids from RIMFROST krill products and fish oil in healthy humans. Olympic Seafood owns the brand RIMFROST. In a randomized, single-dose, single-blind, cross-over, active-reference trial in 15 healthy subjects, the 72-hour bioavailability of approx. 1,700 mg EPA plus DHA in krill oil to krill meal and fish oil was compared. Primary endpoint was the incremental area under the curve in plasma phospholipid fatty acids, reflecting recent dietary intake. According to the primary endpoint, EPA plus DHA had a significantly higher bioavailability in krill oil, as compared to krill meal and fish oil.
