Nice to see some real-world translatory #omega3 research. Highlights the importance of background fatty acid diet and #O3I evaluation in elite sport! @OmegaQuant @JPolreis

Excellent collaboration with @M_Hesseling 'Evaluating the effect of a fish oil supplement on the Omega-3 Index of three professional cyclists competing in the Tour de France: a case study' @m1kemac @CMEP_UOW @TeamOmegaPN

Nice to meet the @UOW_VC as part of the Welcome to University session. Glad to hear that she is excited about the concussion and omega-3 nutrition research @peoples_greg and I are about to start with the #Wallabies & other elite sports teams! 🐟🏉🧠

Our latest article on long-term omega-3 supplementation in runners in @MSSEonline !

More long-term interventions are needed in which the omega-3 index rises to the target values, i.e. ≥ 8%.

Using assessment criteria specific to n-3 studies, the average score out of 5 was 1.48 (n=46). Only 3 studies scored a 4 and no studies score a 5.

RAFO the rest!

[Jeffery Heileson @jheilesonRD]

Great collaborative effort (@Ryan_Anthony__ @peoples_greg @m1kemac) to get this important info out to n-3 researchers!

@ongjulian Yep 100% - we have a PhD student on that topic (algae and DHA) with applications for heart and skeletal muscle physiology..

[OmegaQuant @OmegaQuant]

In our latest episode of #OmegaMatters Dr. Michael Crawford explains the prehistoric role of #omega3 DHA to @OmegaQuant's Drs. Harris and Jackson. Scientist or not, you will learn so much from this episode: https://t.co/PpaQrTG4q6

Looking forward to reading this one!

@ongjulian @mackinprof Hi Julian, great question. Weight of current evidence indicates that pre-formed long chain n-3 (DHA+EPA) is incorporated into cardiac/skeletal membranes at much higher levels than plant sources (mainly ALA). We observe consistent suboptimal O3I in vegan diet

[Team Omega Performance Nutrition @TeamOmegaPN]

Another excellent contribution by @jheilesonRD and team.

Mean #O3I of 4.6% in collegiate athletes should ring alarm bells for dietitians, coaches and performance nutritionists in elite sport. Time to implement strategies to ensure your athletes reach optimal #omega3 status!

[Jeffery Heileson @jheilesonRD]

Happy to share our recent cross-sectional analysis of LC n-3 intake and whole blood levels in athletes.

Spoiler: Intake and fatty acid levels of n-3 are suboptimal.

Interestingly, we found that %EPA were associated with HGS.

@jheilesonRD Another nice contribution @jheilesonRD, well done! You and you're team are on 🔥

We hope your maintaining an O3I >8% unlike yet another unfortunate group of athletes 😬

Increasing omega-3 fat (EPA & DHA) in the #diet may decrease #headache in adults with #migraine (even without decreasing omega-6). *The #brain is mostly fat!*

@Levels The Bill Harris of @OmegaQuant talk with Petter Attia convinced me of the importance of omega 3’s and they are easy to test for inexpensively.

@NamedSport LC n-3 FA supplement containing #EPA and #DHA elevates and maintains an optimal #O3I in professional cyclists whilst competing in the #TDF

Hi @JPolreis we are looking forward to watching this given that our favorite nutrient also happens to be #Omega3 👌

[Jason Polreis @JPolreis]

New OmegaMatters video with @AskDoctorSears discussing what he calls his favorite nutrient #Omega3 - great to hear some of the stories and metaphors he uses when discussing the benefits of EPA and DHA

https://t.co/qROw5KiCVX

[Team Omega Performance Nutrition @TeamOmegaPN]

@foundmyfitness Interesting conclusion. However, many studies included do not exclude fish consuming participants, measure baseline/post #O3I or provide a supplementation period long enough to ensure marked changes in tissue EPA+DHA concentrations.
