Can a low dose of #fish oil, similar to that from two fatty fish meals a week, raise the Omega- 3 Index (O3I) and improve physical fitness in healthy older adults? Visit bit.ly/34FjUYX to read a study on the topic in Nutrition Bulletin's latest issue! Gregory Peoples


Congrats Michael J. Macartney for your latest contribution demonstrating the critical role of omega-3 DHA for optimal heart function during ischemia and reperfusion Centre for Medical and Exercise Physiology, UOW UOW Research rdcu.be/cmHKO

Exciting things to follow from Team Omega Performance Nutrition 🎉 Seems fitting that our 1st tweet is a reminder to re-read this excellent review of the underlying mechanisms of action of omega-3 written by our own mentor Prof. Peter McLennan (40+ years researching n-3 🥸) link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Ryan Anthony & team highlight "considerable variability in n3 study protocols". Only 1/15 studies achieved maximal score for #omega3 study design principles 😲 Future work needs: ✅Appropriate #n3 dose, duration and composition doi.org/10.1123/ijsnem…





New study by Ashley Armstrong & team highlights that even with supplementation there is still room for improvement in provision of dietary #omega3 advice and tracking to help young athletes reach/maintain an RBC membrane #O3I within the low risk zone.


Interesting work Jeffery Heileson & team!

Thanks Gregory Peoples and Team Omega Performance Nutrition. This was a real fun study to work on. Plenty of scope to apply similar principles for other professional athletes/teams in the future 😉

Great collaborative effort (Ryan Anthony Gregory Peoples Michael J. Macartney) to get this important info out to n-3 researchers! A review and evaluation of study design considerations for omega-3 fatty acid supplementation trials in physically trained participants bit.ly/3W3q2CB


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 Gregory Peoples and I are about to start with the #Wallabies & other elite sports teams! 🐟🏉🧠
