Brain Armor's Living Brain Project Study
Omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) have been recognized to provide significant health benefits, and increasing evidence suggests there is a direct link between an individuals’ Omega-3 Index (O3i) score and longevity.
Participants: The current study sample consisted of 56 human volunteers (46 male, 10 female) aged 3 to 66 years old. Participants were recruited from the general community, resided throughout the United States of America, and exhibited different health histories, daily food intake, and physical activity practices.The participants included Pro Players from the NFL and 15 members of the NFL Alumni.
Procedure: Each participant took an initial Omega Quant Omega-3 Index test to establish baseline outcome levels. Each participant was then provided with, and instructed to take, a daily dose of Brain Armor’s Omega-3+ supplement that was compatible for their age, and to remain consistent with other variables of their diet and exercise routine. Brain Armor supplements are created to deliver DHA & EPA at a 2:1 ratio in amounts required to best support different life stages that include; Adult, Active Adult, 50+ Senior, and Pro NSF Certified for Sport.
Highlights:
- 56 final Participants
- Each Participants results are outlined on: https://thelivingbrainproject.com/results
- Average time between baseline and 2nd test 113 days
- Average baseline Omega-3 index 5.59% (above the national average which is less than 4%)
- Average Omega-3 Index increased over 65% to 8.8% (above the desired optimal level of 8%)
- Average Omega-6 : Omega-3 ratio decreased from 7.35 to 4.5 (a decrease of over 35%)
- Average AA: EPA (inflammatory marker) ratio decreased from 21.8 to 7.76 (a decrease of over 51%)
Many participants also provided feedback, which can be found here: https://thelivingbrainproject.com/feedback
