Results: How Omega-3 Slows Biological Aging
The findings below align with broader research showing that omega-3 fatty acids play a crucial role in reducing inflammation, supporting cellular function, and promoting cardiovascular and metabolic health, all key factors in healthy aging.
Omega-3 supplementation alone slowed biological aging, as assessed by DNA methylation clocks.
Combining omega-3, vitamin D, and exercise had the strongest effect, reducing biological age by up to 3.8 months over three years (most significantly observed with the PhenoAge aging clock).
Exercise enhanced the effects of omega-3, reinforcing the role of holistic lifestyle interventions in promoting longevity.
Why AvailOm®? A High-Load, Bioavailable Omega-3 for Formulators
While omega-3s are well-known for their health benefits, formulators often face stability, absorption, and formulation challenges. AvailOm® overcomes these hurdles with a patented delivery system.
- Superior Bioavailability: Up to five times higher absorption than standard fish oil
- High-Load Powder Format: Delivers at least 50% omega-3 content, reducing formulation space constraints
- Oxidation Stability: Highly resistant to oxidation, offering extended shelf life compared to traditional fish oils
- Water Dispersibility: Ideal for functional foods, powders, and supplement applications
- Algae-Based Option for Sustainable Omega-3s: AvailOm® is available in a plant-based formulation sourced from algae, providing sustainable EPA and DHA, the most bioactive forms of omega-3
EPA and DHA vs. ALA: Why the Source of Omega-3s Matters
Not all omega-3s offer the same health benefits. Many plant-based omega-3 sources, such as flaxseed and chia, provide ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), which the body must convert into EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). However, this conversion process is highly inefficient—less than 10% of ALA is successfully transformed into EPA and DHA.
In contrast, AvailOm® provides directly bioavailable EPA and DHA, which are scientifically linked to cardiovascular health, cognitive function, and reduced biological aging.
