17 Jul 2024 --- Aker BioMarine’s phospholipid-rich krill oil helps to increase omega-3 levels significantly among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus compared to a control group in a new study. Although the researchers found no reduction in disease activity among the patients, a post-hoc sub-analysis showed a temporarily reduced disease activity among people with severe symptoms. Commonly called lupus, systemic lupus erythematosus is a chronic, complex autoimmune disease affecting millions globally. In those affected, the immune system develops antibodies that prompt other immune cells to attack the body’s cells as they recognize them as foreign. The disease can damage organs such as kidneys, brain, heart, lungs, blood, skin and joints.
