The Science

The following studies and findings inform FormulaForge classifications for Omega-3 Fatty Acid Ethyl Ester:

AvailOm L-lysine salt (Lys-FFA) EPA+DHA AUC was 8.09-fold (0-24h) higher than ethyl ester (acute peak). AvailOm's advantage over ethyl ester spans a 5-8x range across time windows / saturation-driven retention. Used as the acute anchor for the calibrated midpoint. PMID: 39781273
Relative to natural fish oil TG (100%): ethyl ester 73%, free fatty acid 91%, re-esterified TG 124%. Corroborates EE inferiority (cross-study cross-check only, not the DCR basis). PMID: 20638827
