The Effect of Algae Oil Supplements on Functional Immune Response and Bioavailability of Lipids in Blood, a Pilot Study
Sponsor: Maartje van den Belt
Summary
In this explorative study we will investigate whether two sustainable oil supplements yield equivalent results to fish oil supplements in terms of postprandial immune response, among elderly adults, after standardization of the quantity of DHA among the oils. Results on the bioavailability of DHA from different oil supplements will help determine whether differences in DHA bioavailability lead to differences in immune function. Additionally, we will investigate postprandial inflammatory markers. The outcomes of this exploratorive study will provide insight into the variation between individuals and potential effect sizes, and will aim to conduct more targeted follow-up studies on the effects of algae oils on immune function.
