Results of a double-blind, randomized, three-treatment, multi-dose, together investigate indicated that there were no poignant differences in bioavailability of EPA and DHA between fish oil with omega-3s in a triglyceride or ethyl ester forms, and krill oil with omega-3s in a phospholipid form.
“No poignant differences in meant red blood dungeon concentrations of DHA + EPA during week 4 were performed between a 3 formulations, […] demonstrating matching bioavailability,” wrote a researchers in Lipids in Health Disease
. “This is critical as it shows an integrated design of DHA+ EPA function in a physique and red blood dungeon levels are a substitute for long-term bioavailability.
“The DHA + EPA percent of sum red blood dungeon greasy acids, a omega-3 index, is an critical cardiac risk cause and a investigate demonstrates that all these products yield adequate DHA + EPA levels to grasp this benefit.”
Superiority
The doubt of a intensity supremacy between a forms – fish oil, that has omega-3 in triglyceride forms, and krill oil, that delivers omega-3 in phospholipid form – is a comparatively new debate.
To date, some analogous clinical trials have enclosed krill oil, though a infancy of a scholarship has focused on comparing EPA and DHA from healthy triglyceride, re-esterified triglyceride, and ethyl ester sources.
Among a krill vs fish oil studies, a 2011 paper by Schuchardt et al. (Lipids Health Dis
., 10:145. doi:10.1186/1476-511X-10-145) demonstrated that there was a aloft union of EPA, DHA, and sum omega-3 greasy acids into plasma phospholipids after ingestion of krill oil, compared with immoderate re-esterified triglycerides subsequent from fish oil and ethyl ester forms, however these differences unsuccessful to strech statistical significance.
A comparison investigate between krill oil with menhaden oil led by Biofortis’ Kevin Maki, PhD, suggested that increases in plasma EPA and DHA were matching with ingestion of both oils (Nutr Res
. 2009, Vol. 29, pp. 609-615).
A third study, by Ulven et al. (Lipids
. 2011, Vol. 46, pp. 37-46), found no statistically poignant differences in changes in serum lipid levels, or in markers of inflammation and oxidative highlight between a groups receiving krill oil (total EPA + DHA of 543 mg per day) or fish oil (total EPA + DHA of 864 mg per day).
“[These earlier] studies did not compare a doses administered nor a concentrations of DHA and EPA per further opposite such comparisons, heading to controversial conclusions,” explained a authors of a new study, led by Karin Yurko-Mauro from DSM Nutritional Products.

The new investigate enclosed 66 healthy adults who were incidentally reserved to accept 1.3 grams per day of EPA + DHA as fish oil in a triglyceride form (Meg-3 1408 healthy TG, DSM Nutritional Products), fish oil in a ethyl ester form (Meg-3 1408 ethyl ester, DSM Nutritional Products) or in a form of krill oil supplements (NutriGold Double Strength Krill Gold oil from Neptune Technologies and Bioressources).
After 4 weeks of supplementation (which supposing approximately 816 mg per day of EPA and 522 mg per day of DHA) a formula indicated that there were no poignant differences in sum plasma EPA + DHA between a several omega-3 forms.
The final formula showed that a meant plasma EPA + DHA levels were during 672 h were 91 micrograms per milliliter (ug/mL) for a ethyl ester fish oil, 108 ug/mL for a triglyceride fish oil, and 119 ug/mL for a krill oil.
In addition, there were no poignant differences between a EPA and DHA levels in red blood cells (a magnitude of a omega-3 index) after supplementation with a opposite forms.
Importantly, a researchers also remarkable that a information indicated that all 3 forms of further were good tolerated by a participants.
“The formula denote reduction than 24% disproportion in bioavailability among a 3 products,” wrote a researchers. “The 4 week time march of supplementation was selected as this time duration typically demonstrates that omega-3 greasy poison plasma levels strech plateau in healthy adults and is an guess of steady-state levels and deputy of brief tenure intake.
“Our formula also uncover scarcely matching bioavailability among a groups during early time points (less than 48 h) of a plasma time course, illustrating no improved bioavailability of one product contra another when homogeneous concentrations of omega-3 greasy acids are administered.”
Krill oil variability
Nevertheless, a authors did not totally tighten a doorway on claims that krill oil might be some-more bioavailable, observant that a phospholipid calm in krill oil might impact a bioavailability. “[K]rill oil combination in several blurb products varies widely in phospholipid calm from approximately 19–81% and this has not been evenly examined in longer-term dosing trials,” they wrote. “The krill oil used in a investigate contained 43.7% phospholipid (not a teenager component) and demonstrated matching bioavailability to both TG and EE fish oil forms.”
Focus on augmenting sub-optimal levels of EPA+DHA
Commenting exclusively on a research, Harry Rice, PhD, VP of regulatory systematic affairs for a Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3s (GOED), told us: “Given a long-standing discuss concerning a “best” form of omega-3s, we was happy to see this investigate published. In this country, as good as many countries around a world, we need to concentration on augmenting sub-optimal levels of EPA+DHA. If we’re going to truly grasp that goal, we need to welcome all accessible forms.”
