- The effectiveness of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids is heavily influenced by their bioavailability, which is often overlooked in research.
- The study compares different chemical forms and delivery methods of omega-3s, finding that non-esterified fatty acids have the highest bioavailability, followed by phospholipids, re-esterified triglycerides, and others.
- Although acute studies show significant differences in absorption rates, these findings do not always correlate with long-term effects, highlighting the need for better research methods and standardized protocols to understand the health benefits of omega-3s.
