“Other studies have found that omega-3 supplements can reduce aggressive and antisocial behavior in children but this is the first study to show a reduction in intimate partner violence (ie. behavior toward caregivers).”

“From pregnancy week 24 until one week after birth, the women received capsules containing either 2.4 grams per day of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (55% EPA and 37% DHA) or olive oil as a placebo.”

“This has not been addressed yet. Because most included trials with negative results included patients at high risk of CVD and with advanced atherosclerosis, a high dose of marine omega‐3 supplementation may be needed to achieve potential benefits in this setting.”

“The randomized, controlled intervention trial included 138 sedentary, adults with overweight between the ages of 40 and 85 years. The participants received daily supplements providing 2.5 grams of omega-3s, 1.25 grams of omega-3s, or a placebo for four months.”

“Both supplements lowered ghrelin, a hunger-stimulating hormone, and especially ketone salts increased the LEAP-2/ghrelin ratio, a signal associated with fullness and appetite suppression. Reported hunger and later food intake were unchanged.”

“Supplementing nursing mouse mothers with nicotinamide riboside promotes maternal weight loss, boosts milk production/quality, and leads to offspring that have better motor coordination, better learning/memory, less anxiety and more resilient to stress.”

“The supplement used in this study was a highly pure EPA and the placebo was mineral oil. There has been some concern that the mineral oil may have had adverse effects on lipids since the placebo was associated with a 6% increase in LDL; however, that increase would only translate to a 4% increased heart attack risk.”

“In Q&A #85, I discuss an earlier clinical trial of nicotinamide riboside for Parkinson's disease, along with the potential benefits of exercise, nutritional strategies, and other supplements.”

“Evidence suggests cinnamon improves lipid profiles and protects against damage induced by oxidative stress. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis found that cinnamon helps maintain healthy blood glucose levels and reduces insulin resistance in people with type 2 diabetes.”

“Red meat is traditionally minimized in the Mediterranean dietary pattern to less than 120 grams (about four ounces) per week - roughly the size of a small burger patty; however, this recommendation is largely based on epidemiological evidence, not interventional trials.”
