“Nevertheless, the results suggest that vitamin D may influence how the body handles protein soon after exercise, which may be especially relevant in people with low vitamin D status or impaired muscle responses to exercise or protein intake. In this clip, I discuss vitamin D insufficiency, sun vs. supplements, and the roles of magnesium and vitamin K.”

“Both groups lost strength after exercise, but the loss was mitigated in participants taking the fish oil supplement—they experienced about 15% less of a drop in their maximum voluntary contraction force from before to after the intervention, while the placebo group had about the same drop in force production before and after.”

“While some studies suggest they improve heart function, others have produced mixed results. A recent meta-analysis found that high-dose omega-3 supplementation for a year or more markedly improved heart function and exercise capacity in people with heart failure.”

“More participants receiving the supplement moved from the highest liver-fat category to lower categories, and a score that is used to flag patients at higher risk of disease progression improved modestly.”

“These SPMs promote apoptosis, regulate leukocyte (white blood cell) activity, and reduce the production of proinflammatory mediators. The double-blinded, placebo-controlled, crossover study involved 22 healthy volunteers between the ages of 19 and 37 who took a marine oil supplement enriched in omega-3 fatty acids.”

“Interestingly, some evidence suggests collagen supplementation in the setting of exercise recovery reduces joint pain and improves joint functionality but appears to have no significant effect on post-exercise muscle protein synthesis necessary for hypertrophy and muscle collagen protein synthesis.”

“A pilot study finds people with multiple sclerosis (and healthy controls) increased several species of beneficial gut bacteria and induced an anti-inflammatory immune response after supplementation with a strong, high CFU probiotic for 3 months.”

“Omega-3 fatty acids are present in flaxseed, soybeans, canola oil, fish, and other seafood. They are also widely available as dietary supplements. The prospective, randomized controlled trial involved 87 patients with sellar or parasellar tumors who were undergoing endoscopic nasal resection.”

“A supplement containing the active form of vitamin D was shown to prevent autistic-like behaviors in mice that are predisposed to them. The active vitamin D was given to pregnant mice during the first trimester and this prevented deficits in social interaction, basic learning, and stereotyped behaviors.”

“What's someone unexpected about the fact that additional vitamin C restoring mean lifespan is the fact that Werner syndrome is associated with higher-than-usual ascorbate status rather than reduced, so supplementing with vitamin C being beneficial may be somewhat counter to expectation: > Interestingly, blood ascorbate levels increased with phenotypic progression in [Werner mice].”
