The latest Omega-3 academic research in Asia Pacific

our monthly assessment of some of the latest research results, we focus first on the latest academic work, including
omega-3, cognitive and maternal health.Omega-3according to a recent study, supplementing marine fat extract from New Zealand's green lip mussels is not conducive to resting lung or muscle function in non-asthma runners.endurance training can lead to mild airway inflammation and subsequent deterioration of lung function. Meanwhile,
PCSO-524 -- also known as Lyprinol or OmegaXL -- a supplement extracted from Pernacanaliculus (new green lip mussels) has been "shown to relieve airway inflammation in asthma patients."based on this, researchers at Indiana University and the University of Alabama conducted a randomized controlled trial to determine whether supplementing
PCSO-524 improved lung and respiratory muscle function in non-asthma runners, but found no evidence of its benefits.same time, a recent pilot study showed that a higher
Omega-3 index was associated with reduced depressive symptoms in a group of subjects with chronic heart failure.study, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, aims to test the effects of long-chain
Omega-3 fatty acid supplementation on Omega-3 levels, depressive symptoms and other psychosocial factors, as well as other chronic diseases. Functional measurements related to heart failure (CHF).Healthaccording to a study by beverage company Kirin, whey peptide intake may help improve cognitive function in people who experience high levels of subjective fatigue.previous epidemiological and clinical studies have found that dairy products are beneficial for people with cognitive decline and dementia.Kirin researchers, together with Japan's
Kensyokai Medical Co. and Keio University, recruited 101 healthy adults between the ages of 45 and 64 who had a cognitive decline in self-awareness - especially forgetfulness of the names of people and objects - and who took 1 6 tablets of lactoxide, or placebo supplement ,12 weeks.then, they perform neuropsychological tests and subjective psychological assessments after weeks
6 and 12 of the supplement, as well as clinical tests for safety assessments at week 12.the researchers
that "some people believe that whey peptides can improve cognitive function in patients with high levels of subjective fatigue." Further research will shed light on the relationship between cognitive improvement, whey peptides and psychological fatigue.Maternal health Researchers in Vietnam and Australia say pregnant women in Vietnam urgently need appropriate nutritional interventions, with more than
50 per cent failing to meet the recommended daily intake of essential micronutrients.while inadequate nutritional intake during pregnancy is undoubtedly associated with poor pregnancy and infant outcomes, this situation is exacerbated by limited evidence, such as in Viet Nam.A study led by the National Institute of Health and Epidemiology assessed the consumption of food, constant and micronutrients by
,944 Vietnamese pregnant women and collected dietary information through food frequency questionnaires managed by interviewers.their nutritional intake was assessed using Vietnam's recommended nutritional intake during pregnancy (
RNI) as a reference point for rice, fruits and vegetables as the main food source.same
, a recent study by
Abbott found that breast milk supplements, combined with breastfeeding support in late pregnancy and early postparthood, can have a positive impact on exclusive breastfeeding.The Asia Pacific Centre for Nutrition Research and Development in Abbott, Singapore, the National Nutrition Institute of Viet Nam and researchers at
Cognizant Technologies Solutions in India conducted an observational follow-up study to assess the long-term effects of breast milk supplements and work with the Breastfeeding Support Program on breastfeeding practices.
