Virtual Omega 3 Study for Ontario Residents
Researchers are looking for healthy adults aged 18+ who typically consume fatty fish no more than four times per month and are not currently taking omega-3 supplements and are interested in a Virtual Study
Omega-3 fatty acids are important dietary fats that play roles in normal heart, brain, eye and cellular function and continue to be widely studied in nutrition research.
What is this study about?
Omega-3 fatty acids are naturally found in certain foods, particularly fatty fish, and are widely studied for their role in human nutrition and health.
This clinical research study is evaluating an investigational omega-3 product in generally healthy adults. Researchers are looking for participants whose usual diet contains relatively little fatty fish and who do not currently take omega-3 supplements.
By participating, volunteers can contribute to research that may help expand scientific understanding of omega-3 nutrition.
