Summary

The aim of the research project is to investigate the uptake of omega-3 fatty acids into the blood plasma through the consumption of the microalgae Phaeodactylum tricornutum (PT) in a human study. In an open, crossover study, the volunteers will receive a drink enriched with the microalgae P. tricornutum or an omega-3 fatty acid preparation or (optionally) pollock for 14 days each. Since the microalgae P. tricornutum is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, the target parameter chosen is the uptake of omega-3 fatty acids in the blood plasma
