The supplement specifically targets the increase of monohydroxylated derivatives of n-3 PUFAs, which play a crucial role in reducing chronic, low-grade inflammation. The primary objective of the study is to determine whether administering SPM Active® at 2g\u002Fday for a longer duration (3 months) leads to higher levels of the monohydroxylated derivatives (14-HDHA, 17-HDHA, and 18-HEPE) in adults with obesity (BMI between 30 and 40 kg\u002Fm\\^2, n=33). The secondary objective is to evaluate whether administration of SPM Active® improves the following outcomes: a) burnout, b) life satisfaction, and c) sleep quality. These outcomes will be assessed using validated surveys administered before and after the intervention.\n\nParticipants: The study will include 33 healthy male and female participants of any ethnicity, aged 45-60 years, with a BMI of 30-40 kg\u002Fm\\^2.\n\nProcedures: The intervention involves the administration of the dietary supplement 'SPM Active®' provided by Metagenics.
