  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   Yes
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Men or women, aged ≥18.
  • Normal healthy volunteers based on medical history, clinical assessments, and laboratory assessments.
  • Body mass index 25-35 kg/m2.
  • Willingness to maintain current activity level.
  • Willingness to adhere to the TLC diet during screening and treatment washout periods.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Intolerance to omega-3 fatty acids, ethyl esters, or fish.
  • Unable or unwilling to eat the study meals.
  • Use of fish oil, other EPA or DHA containing supplements, or EPA and/or DHA fortified foods within 60 days of Visit 2, or during the study.
  • Consumption of any fish within 7 days of Visit 2, or during the study.
  • Use of flaxseed, perilla seed, hemp, spirulina, or black currant oils within 7 days of Visit 2, or during the study.
  • History of malabsorption syndrome, Crohn's disease, acute or chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic insufficiency, small bowel resection.
  • Women who are pregnant, lactating, or planning to become pregnant during the study period, or women of childbearing potential who are not using acceptable contraceptive methods. A woman is considered of childbearing potential if she is not surgically sterile or is less than 1 year since last menstrual period. Examples of acceptable contraceptive methods include abstinence, intrauterine device (IUD) or double barrier method, oral or injectable contraceptives.
  • Recent history (past 12 months) of drug abuse or alcohol abuse. Alcohol abuse will be defined as >14 drinks per week (1 drink = 12 oz beer, 5 oz wine, or 1.5 oz hard liquor).
  • Exposure to any investigational product, within 28 days prior to Visit 1.
  • Any other condition the investigator believes would interfere with the subject's ability to provide informed consent, comply with study instructions, or which might confound the interpretation of the study results or put the subject at undue risk.
