As a control to the experimental design, timepoint 0 was considered.

Absorption

After overnight fasting, the authorized study staff inserted a plastic cannula in an arm vein of the volunteers in order to minimize discomfort during consecutive blood sampling. A blood sample was collected on time point 0h and then the volunteers consumed 1mL of MO. The dose selection was based on the study of Papada et al. (2017) who administered healthy volunteers with 10g of Mastiha (containing ~10% MO). Afterwards blood samples were collected on time points 0.5h, 1h, 2h, 4h, 6h and 24h after MO intake, and were centrifuged at 3000rpm for 10 minutes at 4◦C for plasma and serum isolation. All samples were stored at -80◦C until further analysis.

Biological Availability

The volunteers will follow a low-phytochemical diet for five days, meaning that they will exclude fruits, vegetables, legumes, coffee, tea, alcoholic beverages and chocolate. On the day of the experiment and after overnight fasting, the volunteers will consume 10g of natural Mastiha and blood samples will be obtained on timepoints 0h, 30min, 1h, 2h, 4h, 6h and 24h after Mastiha intake. Until timepoint 6h, will be allowed to consume only water. Urine samples will also be collected on timepoints 0h, 4h, 8h and 24h.

n-3 level will be evaluated as a continuous measure, where the median and range will be summarized at each time point. Changes across time will be evaluated graphically. Changes from baseline will be quantitatively summarized and will be evaluated using paired sample methods (paired sample t-test).

The evaluation of whether changes in n-3 levels persist or resolve after participants are no longer taking SH will be assessed using a paired t test comparing the mean values at 12 weeks to the mean values at 16 weeks. Changes from week 12 to week 16 will also be calculated and the mean magnitude of change will be explored.

The evaluation of whether changes in stool microbiome persist or resolve after participants are no longer taking SH will be assessed using a paired t test comparing the mean values at 12 weeks to the mean values at 16 weeks. Changes from week 12 to week 16 will also be calculated and the mean magnitude of change will be explored.

Patient's initial sample will provide a control to assess alterations in stool deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) (reflecting stool bacterial populations) after supplementation with SH. Measurable change will be assessed based on standardized methods.

Safety and tolerability will be assessed utilizing stool and symptom diaries. The maximum grade for each type of adverse event will be recorded for each patient, and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine patterns. The relationship of the adverse event(s) to the study treatment will be taken into consideration. In addition, tolerability will be further assessed by evaluating the number of doses missed due to adverse events. Reasons for missed doses will be summarized.

Patient compliance in stool sample collection will be assessed by evaluating the percentage of patients who provide a sample at each time point. The percentage of patients who provide samples for 0, 1, 2, 3, or all 4 time points will be calculated to determine the feasibility of requesting multiple samples on future studies.
