Can You Take Alkylglycerols and Fish Oil (Omega-3) Together?

May affect absorption

The short answer

Alkylglycerols and Fish Oil are both lipid-based supplements that compete for micelle formation and intestinal lipid absorption pathways. Co-ingestion may reduce the bioavailability of both.

How to arrange timing

Separate Alkylglycerols and Fish Oil by at least 2 hours to optimize intestinal lipid absorption.

Important context

Whether supplements suit you together also depends on dose, product formulation, health conditions, and medication use. Ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a chronic condition.
