Purely Domestic Giant Scallop Oil as a more Health Beneficial Oil than Fish Oil

Abstract

Health benefits of giant scallop oil obtained from discarded portions consist of hepatopancreas and other internal organs, gonads, gill, and mantle are demonstrated. The obtained oil is characterized by the abundant EPA and DHA bound phospholipids including plasmalogens. And the health benefits of the oil can be characterized by high bioavailability, modulating endocannabinoid system, platelet-activating factor and gene expression, as well as the performance in suppressing oxidative stress.
