WHAT SCIENTISTS SAY ABOUT DPA OMEGA-3
Examining the Influence of Omega-3 Fatty Acids on Performance, Recovery, and Injury Management for Health Optimization
Background/Objectives: Omega-3 fatty acids (n-3), recognized for their anti-inflammatory and brain health benefits, are being studied to enhance cognitive function, aid physical recovery, and reduce injury rates among military service members (SMs). Given the unique demands faced by this tactical population, this systematic review aims to evaluate the evidence of n-3 to support physical and mental resilience and overall performance. Methods: This review was conducted in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and includes articles that assessed n-3 status or implemented n-3 interventions in relation to physical and cognitive performance, recovery, and injury outcomes (2006 to 2024)....
FACTS ABOUT CANADA’S SEAL HARVEST
Canada's commercial seal harvest is the most closely watched and strictly regulated animal harvest in the world. Fisheries and Oceans Canada sets a total allowable catch (TAC), which is the upper limit of what can be harvested commercially in any given year. The TAC is determined each year based on population sustainability, scientific advice and industry consultation. The harp seal population is sustainable and has grown in size by roughly four times since the 1970s. Our Pledge Gateway will only purchase seal products from harvesters who respect and meet our commitment to the humane, professional and sustainable harvest of harp...
Omega-3 fatty acids in the psychological and physiological resilience against COVID-19
May omega-3 fatty acid dietary supplementation help reduce severe complications in Covid-19 patients?
Omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-3 LC-PUFAs) could help improve the resolution of the inflammatory balance, limiting therefore the level and duration of the critical inflammatory period. Omega-3 LC-PUFAs may also interact at different stages of the viral infection, notably on the virus entry and replication.
