A cost-effective means of substantiating health claims for omega-3 (w3) rich functional foods is needed to fully exploit growing consumer demand for these products. In a two-stage approach, cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory benefits of w3 will be assessed in human dietary trials; improvements of health status in response to graded doses of w3 supplements will be correlated with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) levels in erythrocytes (DHA Index). Simple bioavailability trials can then be used to determine the intakes of foods required to attain the DHA Index, thus confirming their potential to deliver specified health benefits. Initial trials will support health claims for w3 rich fresh pork and processed pork products.

为了充分利用消费者对这些产品日益增长的需求，需要一种具有成本效益的方法来证实富含omega-3（w3）的功能性食品的健康声明。在一个两阶段的方法中，w3的心血管和抗炎益处将在人类饮食试验中进行评估;响应于w3补充剂的分级剂量的健康状况的改善将与红细胞中的二十二碳六烯酸（DHA）水平相关（DHA指数）。然后，简单的生物利用度试验可以用来确定达到DHA指数所需的食物摄入量，从而确认它们提供特定健康益处的潜力。初步试验将支持富含w3的新鲜猪肉和加工猪肉产品的健康声明。
