topicKrill Oil Triglycerides Randomized Trial
claimBACKGROUND: Hypertriglyceridemia is a modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and while omega-3 fatty acids (omega-3 FAs) are known to lower triglyceride (TG) concentrations, their effectiveness is influenced by formulation and bioavailability.

topicKrill Oil Triglycerides Randomized Trial
claimPhospholipid-bound (PL) omega-3 FAs—such as those found in krill oil—demonstrate superior intestinal absorption and membrane integration compared with TG- and ethyl ester omega-3 FAs based forms.

claimEarly epidemiological evidence also suggests sex-specific associations in the absence of exercise, with each additional weekly portion of fatty fish associated with a 1.8% higher grip strength in women and only a 1.0% higher grip strength in men [].
