What matters more when choosing a fat supplement…the fatty acid profile or the form (ca salt vs. prill) of the product? In this study recap, Michigan State Graduate Student, Alycia Bales, takes us through her research with a head-to-head comparison of these three variations: 1) 70:20 Palmitic to Oleic blend of a prill and Ca salt, 2) 70:20 Palmitic to Oleic Ca Salt, and 3) a traditional Ca Salt (50:35 Palmitic to Oleic). https://lnkd.in/gXj6utxw
