Increasing the Omega-3 Index of Endurance Trained Adults: A Pilot Study Comparing Microencapsulated Algae to Fish Powders Provided as Chewable TabletsAbstract Long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (LCn-3PUFA), including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), support heart function during exercise and recovery by incorporating into the cardiac cell membranes. Traditionally sourced from fish and fish oil, algae-derived LCn-3PUFA have become alternative in supplemental forms. This study evaluated whether 12 weeks supplementation of a microencapsulated algal oil, delivered as chewable tablets, would perform equivalently to fish-derived LCn-3 [...] |
