23 Sep 2015 --- DSM has published the results of a new study to show that similar levels of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) reach the blood, regardless of whether the omega-3 supplement consumed is a fish or krill oil product. There had previously been conflicting information on the relative oral bioavailability of different forms of omega-3. For example, several krill oil manufacturers and marketers have made, and continue to make claims that krill oil is between 2.5 and 20 times more bioavailable than fish oil forms of omega-3 that have demonstrated clinical benefits. Typically, krill oil products that are available in the consumer marketplace have significantly lower levels of EPA and DHA in each capsule, when compared to fish or algal oil based omega-3 supplements. These new results allow consumers to make more informed purchasing decisions, as DSM works to educate global populations on the multiple health benefits of these essential nutrients.</
