Study Summary

This trial will study if an algae oil-fortified soymilk is as effective as a commercial algae oil capsule in increasing EPA and DHA in the blood.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with a BMI between 18 and 30 who are not pregnant or nursing, don't have anemia, high cholesterol/triglycerides, coagulation disorders, diabetes, allergies to ingredients in the test products, and haven't taken omega-3 supplements or certain medications recently.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study aims to compare how well the body absorbs EPA and DHA (healthy fats) from algae oil fortified soymilk versus standard algae oil capsules. It will measure the levels of these fats in participants' blood over time.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves healthy eating interventions with soymilk and capsules containing natural oils, side effects might be minimal but could include digestive discomfort or allergic reactions if sensitivity to ingredients exists.
