Research Efficacy Snapshot
Published efficacy percentages cited in PubMed trials and named-expert reports about DHA. Each line links to the original source.
- "A total of 600 healthy 20‑week‑old hens were randomly allocated to three groups (10 replicates/group, 20 hens/replicate) and fed either a basal diet (CK) or a basal diet supplemented with 1.0% (T1) or 1.5% (T2) black wolfberry residues for 60 days." · Yao Y et al, 2026 PubMed
- "In conclusion, dietary supplementation with black wolfberry residues, particularly at 1.5%, improved egg quality by increasing yolk color, total amino acids, DHA, and minerals (Se, Zn) while reducing total cholesterol." · Yao Y et al, 2026 PubMed
- "A total of 150 one-day-old Arbor Acres (AA) broilers were randomly assigned to three experimental groups: control group (basal diet), group 1 (high-fat diet), and group 2 (high-fat diet supplemented with 1% MCDF)." · Qin Y et al, 2026 PubMed
- "The meta-analysis indicated that n-3 PUFAs may produce modest weight gain (SMD 1.41, 95% CI [0.36-2.46]; P = 0.008; low certainty, I 2 = 94%), though clinical significance is uncertain." · Liu G et al, 2026 PubMed
- "No statistically significant effects were observed on LBM (SMD 0.21, 95% CI [-0.38-0.81]; P = 0.48; moderate certainty), BMI (WMD 0.59, 95% CI [-0.42-1.60]; P = 0.25; moderate certainty), ALB (SMD -0.07, 95% CI [-0.81-0.66]; P = 0.84; low certainty), or PA (SMD 0.13, 95% CI [-0.18-0.43]; P = 0.42; moderate certainty)." · Liu G et al, 2026 PubMed
- "The phenotypes of all 41 patients showed a good treatment response, with 100% adequate clinical and parasitological response (ACPR) on Day 42." · Irdayanti I et al, 2026 PubMed
- "Analysis of the Pfmdr1 gene CNV identified 36 isolates (87.81%) with a single copy and 5 isolates (12.19%) with multiple copies." · Irdayanti I et al, 2026 PubMed
- "Over 96 days, fish were fed four isoproteic and isolipidic diets: a commercial-based diet (D1), and three fishmeal-free diets with increasing Nannochloropsis inclusion levels (0%, D2; 2%, D3; 14%, D4)." · Naya-Català F et al, 2026 PubMed
- "Growth performance remained almost equal in fish fed all the fishmeal-free diets with only a slight and final improvement (<4%) in the control D1 fish, although an enhanced expression with a discriminant capacity was reported for hepatic growth-related markers (igf1 and ghr1) in D4 fish." · Naya-Català F et al, 2026 PubMed
- "A 13-week dietary toxicity study was conducted in CD® IGS [Crl:CD(SD)] rats to evaluate the safety of DHA canola high-fat meal containing 20% oil." · Ahmad I et al, 2026 PubMed
