Krill oil is a source of omega−3 fatty acids. [72] The effect of krill oil, at a lower dose of EPA + DHA (62.8%), was demonstrated to be similar to that of fish oil on blood lipid levels and markers of inflammation in healthy humans. [73]
Omega−3 fatty acids are important for normal metabolism. [ 2 ] Mammals are unable to synthesize omega−3 fatty acids, but can obtain the shorter-chain omega−3 fatty acid ALA (18 carbons and 3 double bonds) through diet and use it to form the more important long-chain omega−3 fatty acids, EPA (20 carbons and 5 double bonds) and then from ...
Saturated fatty acids 16 and 18 carbons in length are the dominant types in the epidermis, [39] [40] while unsaturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids of various other lengths are also present. [ 39 ] [ 40 ] The relative abundance of the different fatty acids in the epidermis is dependent on the body site the skin is covering. [ 40 ]

Cervonic acid (or docosahexaenoic acid) has 22 carbons, is found in fish oil, is a 4,7,10,13,16,19-hexa unsaturated fatty acid. In the human body its generation depends on consumption of omega 3 essential fatty acids (e.g., ALA or EPA), but the conversion process is inefficient. [22]
