Brief summary
The study will evaluate the bioavailability of omega-3 based dietary supplements under fasted conditions in healthy adult subjects. Each subject will participate in 5 treatment periods. The order of treatments will be in accordance with the randomisation schedule.There will be a minimum of 4 treatment-free days between each treatment period. On each dosing occasion, subjects will be fasted for at least 10 hours overnight, prior to the morning of dosing. Twenty-four subjects will be enrolled to complete dosing of 20 subjects.
Interventions
Subjects will receive 5 single doses with at least 4 treatment-free days between each treatment period. The order of treatments will be in accordance with the randomisation schedule. Using a Williams design, 2 subjects will be randomly assigned to receive 1 of the following 10 treatment sequences:ABECD,BCADE, CDBEA, DECAB, EADBC, DCEBA, EDACB, AEBDC, BACED, CBDAE
