01 · The sentence it was drawn from

“Intake of HPL krill oil significantly increased RBC concentrations of EPA (p < 0.001), DHA (p = 0.017), EPA + DHA (the omega-3 index, p < 0.001) and n-3 PUFA (p < 0.001) compared to control.”
Quoted verbatim from Supplementation of krill oil with high phospholipid content increases sum of EPA and DHA in erythrocytes compared with low phospholipid krill oil.
