Summary: scientists found that eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) from fish oil impacts each person’s metabolism uniquely. Participants showed strong but short-lived increases in EPA levels, with significant differences in lipid profiles. The results reveal how metabolism shapes individual responses to omega-3 supplements and underscore the need for personalized heart health strategies.
A new study has found that the benefits of a fatty acid known as eicosapentaenoic acid vary widely from person to person. Researchers say the results highlight how individual metabolism plays a crucial role in protecting against cardiovascular disease.
