The Claim

In primary human monocytes, exposure to Omega 3 Plus and Omega 3 Orange formulations at concentrations up to 2.5% for 24 hours does not result in a significant reduction in cell viability as measured by the AlamarBlue assay.

Description
1 study reviewed
In plain English

When primary human monocytes are exposed to Omega 3 Plus and Omega 3 Orange formulations at concentrations up to 2.5% for 24 hours, cell viability remains unchanged according to AlamarBlue assay measurements.

See the scientific wording

In primary human monocytes, both Omega 3 Plus and Omega 3 Orange formulations are non-cytotoxic at concentrations up to 2.5%, as demonstrated by no significant reduction in cell viability using the AlamarBlue assay after 24 hours of exposure.

Why this might work

When omega-3 fatty acids enter monocytes, they become part of the cell membrane, helping the membrane stay stable and functional. This keeps the cell’s energy production running normally, so the cell does not die even when exposed to high concentrations of the supplement.

  1. Study: Omega-3-Based Nutraceuticals Suppress LPS-Induced Inflammatory Responses in Primary Human Monocytes

    The study tested these omega-3 supplements on human immune cells in a lab and found that even at the highest dose, the cells stayed alive and healthy — meaning the supplements didn’t kill them.
