The participant will arrive fasted at Diex Recherche Sherbrooke. After installing a catheter and drawing 5 mL of blood, the participants will be given one of the active comparator or the treatment. The choice of the treatment/comparator will be random. In this arm, the participant will receive the omega-3 fatty acids as a unique dose of 3 g EPA + DHA in monoacylglycerol form + 45 mg vitamin K2. The participant will consume this unique dose with a standardized breakfast. There will thereafter be blood sample collection over 24 h to evaluate the level of omega-3 fatty acids in the plasma.

The intervention is a randomized double bond cross over design testing the pharmacokinetics of a monoglyceride formulation compared to an ethyl ester form.
Treatments are randomly assigned on days 0 and 7 of the clinical study. Blood samples will be collected at time 0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12 and 24 hours. Each participant will perform the two treatments, with a minimum of 6 days between treatments.

Double-blind controlled-randomized pharmacokinetic (PK) pilot study with crossover design (10 men and 10 women), with a minimum of 6 days between treatments

Neither the participant nor the research nurse will know the administration order of the different treatments administered. All plasma samples collected during the research project will be anonymized i.e. it will not be possible to identify the participant by his name since a number will be assigned to him. The code key linking the participant's name to his number will be stored, with access restricted to those designated by the principal investigator. The data file is also protected by a password.

II. Study arms:
a. Participants in the dry AMD study group will be randomized into two arms with a 4:1 ratio: i. Omega-3-fatty acids 4 gm oral daily (Total:840mg EPA/2520mg DHA) (1:3 ratio of EPA to DHA) ( 6 capsules fatty acids)

ii. Placebo oral daily (6 softgel capsules, each contains 1100 mg olive oil)

Short Term Ocular Safety Assessment of High Dose Omega-3 Supplementation for Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

Aim: To demonstrate the short-term multi focal electroretinogram (mfERG) effect of oral omega-3-fatty acids in the triglyceride form on dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Null hypothesis: Omega-3-fatty acids do not affect the mfERGs of patients with dry AMD.
