Synopsis
Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 3
Polar lipids, particularly phospholipids such as phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine, have been studied for their effects on lipid metabolism, including blood triglyceride levels. Most of the scientific evidence focuses on dietary sources rich in polar lipids, such as krill oil, egg yolk, and certain dairy fats. Clinical trials and animal studies suggest that polar lipids can modulate lipid absorption and metabolism in the intestine and liver, potentially leading to reduced plasma triglyceride concentrations. For example, krill oil, which contains substantial amounts of omega-3 fatty acids in phospholipid form, has been shown in several randomized controlled trials to modestly lower triglyceride levels in hyperlipidemic individuals compared to placebo or fish oil. Mechanistically, polar lipids may influence the assembly and secretion of very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) in the liver, which are the primary carriers of triglycerides in the blood. However, the overall body of evidence is not as robust as for other interventions (such as prescription omega-3 fatty acids), and results across studies are somewhat variable, depending on the source and composition of polar lipids. There is no strong evidence for the use of generic or unspecified "polar lipids" as a supplement for high triglycerides, but specific preparations (e.g., krill oil) do have some clinical support. Thus, scientific validation exists but is moderate and source-dependent.
