Influence of Dietary Omega-3 Fatty Acids in Various triOMEG Sausages on the HS-Omega-3 Index in Healthy Individuals
New approaches to increase eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in our diet are needed, but any new approach needs to demonstrate the bioavailability of EPA+DHA, and its safety and palatability.
