NCT ID NCT06001632

Summary

This study tested whether taking krill oil supplements while following an alternate-day fasting diet helps people lose weight while preserving muscle strength and healthy body composition. Fifty overweight or obese adults were randomly assigned to take either krill oil or a placebo oil while following the fasting plan for 20 weeks. Researchers measured changes in body fat, muscle mass, strength, and various health markers to see if the krill oil provided any extra benefits.
