  1. FA of supplemented oils are presented as means [% FAME].
  2. 1Daily intake is given as mean of men and women; men received 18.5 g/d and women 15.5 g/d total daily dose; based on average 2800 kcal for men and 2200 kcal for women to achieve comparable energy% of the supplemented FA for both sexes.
