First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study tested whether a natural, unprocessed salmon oil supplement (CARDIO®) improves omega-3 levels and heart health markers better than standard cod liver oil. 96 healthy adults aged 40-80 took one of the two oils for 14 weeks. Researchers measured changes in omega-3 index, inflammation, cholesterol, and diabetes risk markers.
