Omega-3 innovations: New sources, delivery formats and holistic health benefits
Omega-3 innovations: New sources, delivery formats and holistic health benefits
Despite growing demand for omega-3s, many consumers don’t consume enough eicosapentaenoic acids (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acids (DHA) to reap their health benefits, like heart and brain health, immunity, healthy aging, and beauty-from-within. Traditional fish and krill oil sources are insufficient to meet this untapped market potential, priming the market for alternatives like algae-based omegas. Nutrition Insight explores the latest innovations, sustainability benefits of algae oils, and health impacts of omega-3s with dsm-firmenich, Gelita, GC Rieber VivoMega, Epax, and Aker BioMarine.

A new study demonstrates that sarcopenia-related muscle decline associated with aging can be modeled within a relatively short period in space, paving the way to study potential treatments quicker and more effectively. To understand the changes of muscle in microgravity, researchers at the University of Florida (US) engineered skeletal muscle microtissues from donor biopsies and launched them to the International Space Station aboard SpaceX CRS-25.

Study illuminates caffeine’s longevity effects at the cellular level
Cup of coffee at breakfast
A new paper reveals caffeine might play a role in slowing down the aging process at a cellular level — by tapping into an ancient cellular energy system. The study of fission yeast — a single-celled organism “surprisingly similar” to human cells — found that caffeine helps cells sustain life. Caffeine has long been linked to potential health benefits, including reduced risk of age-related diseases. But the researchers say until now, how it works inside our cells, and what exactly are its connections with nutrient and stress responsive gene and protein networks has remained a mystery.
Vegan diet linked to health benefits including low acid load and weight loss

US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. intends to make nutrition education compulsory in medical schools — or risk losing federal funding. While many public health advocates agree that medical students need better training in nutrition, Nutrition Insight explores this push, which experts say must be grounded in science.“Under Secretary Kennedy’s leadership, Health and Human Services [HHS] is committed to ensuring that nutrition is treated as core clinical knowledge — not a wellness extra — in building a healthcare system equipped to prevent and manage chronic disease,” an HHS spokesperson tells us.
