Abstract:
Described herein are compositions including at least one omega-3 fatty acid (either in the triglyceride, ester or free fatty acid ester form) and at least one surface active agent; wherein the compositions form micelles when in contact with an aqueous medium. Also provided are methods of administering to a subject a composition including at least one omega-3 fatty acid (either in the triglyceride, ester or free fatty acid ester form) and at least one surface active agent, wherein the compositions form micelles when in contact with an aqueous medium, and the bioavailability of the omega-3 fatty acid is substantially independent of a food effect. The compositions are useful for treating certain disease states which may include (1) malabsorption syndromes, (2) primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), (3) non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), (4) sickle cell disease (SCD), (5) age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and (6) neurodegenerative disease, including, Parkinson's Disease (PD), Alzheimer's Disease (AD), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease), Epilepsy, Bi-polar Syndrome, traumatic brain injury, peripheral neuropathy, and Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Described are also various dosage forms for administering the compositions and use of the compositions in functional foods. Provided herein are also kits with instructions for their administration.
