Postmenopausal bone loss can be limited by high doses of Vitamin D

Postmenopausal bone loss can be limited by high doses of Vitamin D

Daily intake of 1,000 IU of Vitamin D, corresponding to 25 µg, can slow bone density loss, a condition that is very common among women in old age. 
Osteoporosis, omega-3s increase bone mass

Osteoporosis, omega-3s increase bone mass

Omega-3s can increase bone mass and protect against osteoporosis. Intake of the fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic), DHA (docosahexaenoic) and ALA (alpha linoleic acid) in high amounts, and reducing the ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3, appear to preserve bone density and reduce the risk of fractures. 
Omega-3s improve sports performance

Omega-3s improve sports performance

Daily intake of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid)-rich fish oil (eicosapentaenoic acid) supplements can improve, after as little as eight weeks, the economy of movement, that is, the energy required to maintain a constant speed of movement during exercise, reducing perceived exertion and thus increasing endurance.

Vitamin D deficiency, health at risk for thousands of Europeans of all ages

13% of the population of the European Union, regardless of age and ethnicity, suffers from vitamin D deficiency.

Osteoporosis: omega-3s protect bones and reduce the risk of hip fracture

Consumption of fish and other omega-3-containing products is associated with a lower risk of osteoporosis and hip fracture, according to a recent study in adults 20 years and older.   
Loss of muscle mass: counteract it with Omega-3s

Loss of muscle mass: counteract it with Omega-3s

The natural aging of muscles can be countered by stimulating their metabolism with the intake of the Omega 3 fatty acids EPA (eicohexapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).
