Watch nowHeart failure that develops after a heart attack can worsen over time as damaged heart cells become less efficient at generating energy. This loss of energy production occurs partly because mitochondria, the structures inside cells that produce energy, are functionally impaired. Researchers investigated whether alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) could improve outcomes when added to standard heart failure treatment. The multicenter clinical trial enrolled 300 adults with chronic heart failure who had experienced a heart attack at least 30 days earlier and had a left ventricular ejection fraction of 50% o... cardiovascular heart disease mitochondria supplements
Read moreFlaxseed oil is rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid. In the liver, ALA converts to docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a crucial component of brain health. Evidence suggests that low DHA levels can impair cognitive function. However, a recent study in older adults found that supplemental flaxseed oil enhances cognitive function, particularly verbal fluency—the ability to retrieve and use words quickly. The study involved 60 cognitively healthy older adults between the ages of 65 and 80. Half of the participants received 3.7 grams of flaxseed oil containing 2.2 grams of ALA daily... brain diet aging omega-3 memory
Read moreFlaxseed oil is rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a precursor to docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an omega-3 fatty acid critical for infant brain and eye development. A recent study found that supplementing the diets of lactating women with flaxseed oil altered the levels of some omega-3 fatty acids in breast milk, plasma, and red blood cells but not DHA. The study involved seven lactating women who consumed 20 grams of flaxseed oil daily for four weeks. Researchers collected and analyzed samples of the participants' breast milk and blood before, during, and after the supplementation period to a... omega-3 development breast milk

Watch nowSarcopenia is an age-related progressive condition characterized by the loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength. It is one of the leading causes of functional decline and loss of independence in older adults. Contributing factors for sarcopenia include poor nutrition, low physical activity, and inflammation, among others. Findings from a recent meta-analysis suggest that omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial in preventing or treating sarcopenia. Omega-3 fatty acids participate in a wide range of physiological processes and are essential for human health. Some evidence demonstrates that omega-3... aging omega-3 muscle
Read moreThe eyes' ability to adjust to changes in illumination, referred to as light and dark adaptation, varies between individuals. Dark adaptation, in particular, is critical to survival in low light and is responsible for what is commonly referred to as "night vision." A recent study indicates that supplementation with omega-3 fatty acid-rich fish oil may improve night vision in humans. Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fats that are essential for human health. They include alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). ALA is found mainly in plant ... omega-3 polyunsaturated fat dairy supplements
