Omega-3: effects on muscle mass, strength and performance in the elderly

Maintaining good muscle mass (both in terms of quantity and function) is critical to ensuring equally good health and quality of life. Unfortunately, however, as the years go by, the risk of losing muscle and strength is just around the corner; evidenced by the many older people who find themselves struggling with some degree of muscle weakness. As if that were not enough, chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer (also particularly common in the elderly population) can accelerate the loss of muscle mass and strength.

Alzheimer's disease: omega-3s could slow neurodegenerative processes

Omega 3 EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) taken with supplements can cross the blood-brain barrier in Alzheimer's patients, acting positively on neurodegenerative processes. 

Omega-3 supplements may contribute to telomere stability

The low ratio of Omega-6 to Omega 3 appears to be associated with increased length of telomeres, the terminal regions of chromosomes, favoring their functionality and stability.

Alzheimer's disease: omega-3 and alpha lipoic acid reduce cognitive and functional decline

Omega-3 EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), in combination with alpha lipoic acid, are able to delay the loss of intellectual abilities that characterizes Alzheimer's disease. 

Krill extract could slow cellular aging

Supplements made from krill, a collection of tiny marine crustaceans, could help prevent aging. In mice, in fact, powder from these Antarctic organisms appears to counteract the weight and energy loss that comes with advancing age. 

Alzheimer's: an omega-3 rich drink improves symptoms and counteracts brain atrophy

Souvenaid, a beverage containing high concentrations of DHA (1200 milligrams), EPA (300 milligrams), B vitamins, and other molecules, would be able to improve the ability to perform daily activities in early-stage Alzheimer's patients. 

Mild cognitive decline in the elderly: omega-3 supplements improve memory and comprehension ability

In the elderly with mild cognitive decline, daily supplementation with omega-3s promotes certain brain functions, particularly memory and speed of comprehension.e

Alzheimer's disease, reduced risk with higher blood concentrations of DHA

Having high amounts of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) in the blood may protect against Alzheimer's disease.

Omega-3s protect against cardiovascular disease by reducing oxidative stress

The beneficial action of omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) against cardiovascular disease may depend on their ability to reduce oxidative stress.
