Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin d in immobilisation: Part a- modulation of appendicular mass content, composition and structure

Conclusion Overall, at the current doses, ω-3 and vitamin D supplementation only attenuated one of the changes associated with non-injurious limb immobilisation. These findings would necessitate further research into either a) supplementation linked to injury-induced immobilisation, or b) larger doses of these supplements to confirm/refute the physiological reserve potential of the two supplements.
