SportsNUTRITION Reduce inflammation in muscles and improve blood flow! Protein powders and amino acids have become well-established supplements in the sports nutrition market. A more recent addition is the supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA). Science supporting the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids in sports nutrition is emerging. Regardless of the level of activity, omega-3 fatty acids are essential for everyone as they are key for regulating the normal functioning of all body cells. Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) are best known for their heart and brain health benefits (EFSA health claims). Active individuals and athletes will gain in addition from the contribution of omega-3 fatty acids to (i) a healthy immune function, by decreasing the inflammatory response to exercise, and (ii) a faster recovery, by reducing the muscle soreness. Even if the need for required intake levels of EPA and DHA is recognized by athletes, the consumption of these products should be an enjoyable sensory experience as well. Thus, leaving no room for acceptance of any oxidation or fishy off notes, which are often associated with the consumption of omega-3 products. At Vesteraalens we produce an omega-3 fish oil with a unique freshness, resulting in a superior sensory quality. This allows the incorporation of our omega-3 fish oils into well-tasting sports nutrition products (drinks, bars, etc.). Actually, Vesteraalens omega-3 fish oils are already consumed by top athletes in diverse disciplines such as soccer, triathlon, cycling and cross-country skiing.

Omega-3 masne kiseline nemaju utjecaja na zdravlje? Prilično šokantne rezultate istraživanja predstavili su grčki znanstvenici koji pobijaju sve do sada izrečeno o omega-3 masnim kiselinama Omega-3 masne kiseline jedan su od najčešće spominjanih spojeva koji, prema dosadašnjim tvrdnjama, imaju odličan utjecaj na naše zdravlje. Pripisuje im se zaštita srca i regulacija tlaka zbog utjecaja na količinu triglicerida u krvi. U međuvremenu se razvila cijela industrija proizvoda obogaćenih omega-3 masnim kiselinama, od kapsula i ostalih dodataka prehrani preko margarina, ulja i ostalih masnoća koje koristimo u kuhinji. No, grčki znanstvenici sa Sveučilišta Janjina predstavili su analizu kliničkih ispitivanja koja su provedena na gotovo 70 tisuća ljudi u kojoj se ne slažu s dosadašnjim tvrdnjama o blagotvornom utjecaju omega-3 masnih kiselina, proglašavajući ih potpuno neučinkovitim za sve navedeno. Glavni izvor omega-3 masnih kiselina je riba poput sardina i lososa, što se i dalje preporučuje kao zdrav obrok koji bi trebao zamijeniti meso. No, ovo nije prvi glas koji tvrdi da omega-3 masne kiseline nemaju učinka na smrtnost i srčane bolesti, jer su ove godine i znanstvenici iz Južne Koreje objavili rezultate istraživanja na 20 tisuća ljudi tvrdeći isto.
