The Importance of Omega-3 for Cell Membrane Functionality - Interview with Nils Hoem, Ph.D.

In this interview, Nils Hoem, Ph.D., — a research scientist with Aker Biomarine, the largest krill oil company in the world — takes a deep dive into omega-3s and the crucial role they play in the health and functionality of your cell membranes.

The cellular membrane is the universal surface onto which, and into which, the cellular machinery is assembled. The integrity of the inner and outer membranes is vital for the function of the cell.

The cell membrane also hosts response elements and almost all signaling, except for hormones. Almost all short path signaling begins in the membrane.

Membranes are lipid structures made of phospholipids and other constituents. The food you eat provides the raw material substrate that is then assembled into the mitochondrial and cellular membranes, which is why the type of fats you consume is so important.

Most people aren’t willing to forgo processed foods and end up with far too much LA, which then necessitates taking extra omega-3. By increasing your omega-3 intake, the EPA and DHA can push the omega-6 out of your membranes.

Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) shuttles EPA and DHA into your eyes, liver and, in pregnant women, the placenta. LPC is endogenously produced, but your capacity to produce it is dependent on choline.
