GummyTalk Forum

Hey folks, just came across this study while working from a cafe in Bali (PMID: 12345678). It claims the Omega-3 in gummy form has 95% absorption rate compared to pills. Sounds too good to be true? The funding section mentions a 'nutritional supplement research grant' - makes me wonder if it's biased. What do you all think? I'm sticking with my gummies for now since they travel well in my backpack, but curious about your takes.

RhinoRich254 - Interesting find! During my fasting windows, I'm always skeptical of studies that might push products. That 95% number does seem high. I'd check if the researchers have ties to gummy manufacturers. Personally, I take my Omega-3 gummies during my eating window and feel great, but I rely more on whole foods like salmon. Maybe cross-reference with independent studies? Also, what's the sample size? Small studies can be misleading.

Ooh, tech nerd here - I love digging into this stuff! I scanned the abstract using a research app on my tablet. The methodology uses some cool bio-tracking tech, which seems legit. But yeah, Oliver's right about funding bias. I use Omega-3 gummies with my smart supplement dispenser, and my fitness tracker shows improved focus. Maybe try a month with and without to compare? Also, RhinoRich, got a link to the full study? My VPN should work from anywhere 😉

Thanks both! Oliver - sample size was 200 adults, which seems decent? Nina - here's the link (shortened): bit.ly/omega3study. I'll keep using them since they don't melt in my laptop bag like some supplements. Maybe we're overthinking it - but better safe than sorry with what we put in our bodies, right? Any other studies people have seen?

200 is okay, but look for replication studies. In my fasting community, we've seen similar claims fall apart. If you're traveling, Rhino, maybe check the ingredient list too - some gummies have added sugars that might affect absorption. Nina's trial idea isn't bad, though! I'd say moderate optimism but stay critical. The supplement industry isn't always transparent, as we know from past debates here.
