Using the AvailOm® Free Form Fatty acid Omega 3 Lysine Complex paired with Sesamol, providing a source of DHA and EPA that has both assured high bioavailability without any need for accompanying fat alongside. In using AvailOm® it is also highly oxidation resistant hence assuring it's not "rancid" and that it's health promoting functions remain intact. The sesamol addition is a first of it's kind, with early research demonstrating potential to improve the bodies' natural conversion of ALA to DHA & EPA, further improving end omega-3 related functions.

AvailOm® has been demonstrated to be 5X more potent than ethyl ester Omega 3s when compared in a fasted state. You can read the clinical trial demonstrating this here. "In vitro dissolution behaviour and absorption in humans of a novel mixed l-lysine salt formulation of EPA and DHA, (2021)"
We also have our own breakdown looking at the specifics of this claim at the article linked below.
When consumed alongside fats this difference will decrease, to the order of 2X more potency due to better digestion of the ethyl ester fatty acids due to the greater presence of bile salt dependent lipase (aka. carboxyl ester lipase).
What about comparison to triglyceride or phospholipid form Omega-3's? These have better digestion capacity than ethyl ester at the rate limiting step - which is hydrolysis by bile salt stimulated lipase. Triglyceride and phospolipid from fatty acids are also able to be hydrolyzed by colipase-dependent pancreatic lipase which allows for greater efficiency. In the long scheme, assuming use alongside normal fat intake, there appears to be little significant difference in end omega-3 outcomes between ethyl ester, and triglyceride or phospholipid forms. However that does assume normal fat intake, which is less common with many bodybuilding related diets, and normal bile salt release and liver function.
Using free form fatty acids, AvailOm® Omega 3 salt complex is able to bypass the need for breakdown in the gut (dependent on bile acids and pancreatic lipases), and goes straight to the 'packaging' step of omega's before they are transported to target tissues. This is particularly valuable for:
By binding the free form fatty acids with the Lysine it provides two key functions.
WHAT IS ADVANCED OMEGA 3 USED FOR?
In western culture it is common for people to consume an abundance of Omega 6 fatty acids (red meats) and too few Omega 3 (fish), this imbalance leads to systemic inflammation, increasing risk to disease and other health complications. With Leviathan's Advanced Omega 3 we intend to better our omega-3 index and reduce negative consequences of high Omega 6 intake.
