Nice to meet the @UOW_VC as part of the Welcome to University session. Glad to hear that she is excited about the concussion and omega-3 nutrition research @peoples_greg and I are about to start with the #Wallabies & other elite sports teams! 🐟🏉🧠

Thanks @peoples_greg and @TeamOmegaPN. This was a real fun study to work on. Plenty of scope to apply similar principles for other professional athletes/teams in the future 😉
Nice to see some real-world translatory #omega3 research. Highlights the importance of background fatty acid diet and #O3I evaluation in elite sport! @OmegaQuant @JPolreis

Interesting work @jheilesonRD & team!
New study by @AshEArm & team highlights that even with supplementation there is still room for improvement in provision of dietary #omega3 advice and tracking to help young athletes reach/maintain an RBC membrane #O3I within the low risk zone.

Supplementation with DHA-rich fish oil increases the omega-3 index in healthy adults and slows resting heart rate (control: 66 ± 9 bpm; fish oil group: 61 ± 6 bpm). tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1…

Thanks Dr. Kathy Beerman for writing a fantastic blog post explaining the importance of our #omega3 research findings for #hearthealth. nutrition.org/can-low-dose-d…. @CMEP_UOW @jnutritionorg
