Abstract
Novel marine lipid compositions comprising triglycerides and omega-3 rich phospholipids are described. The compositions are characterized by providing highly bioavailable omega-3, increased tissue incorporation of omega-3 and reduced concentration of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Claims7
A gel capsule containing a lipid composition comprising a mixture of phospholipid molecules, having the following general structure:
- wherein said mixture of phospholipid molecules is characterized in comprising at least 1% docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) residues or eicosopentaenoic acid (EPA) residues at positions R1 or R2 and from 15 to 45% of OH at positions R1 or R2 and wherein R1 and R2 are not simultaneously —OH, wherein R3 is a moiety selected from the group consisting of choline, ethanolamine, inositol and serine moieties, and wherein said mixture of phospholipids is acylated in a range from 55% to about 85%.
