Aging &amp; Longevity

<p>Participants: Physically active and healthy older adults </p>
<p>Dosage: 1 gram of omega-3s (330 mg EPA plus 660 mg DHA) per day, 2,000 IU of vitamin D per day, and 30 minutes of strength training exercises three times per week</p>


While omega-3 supplementation slows biological aging, adding vitamin D and exercise further slows biological aging.
