Supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D may slow down the age-related shortening of telomeres, according to one research study published in the <em>American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitalstudy.org\/\">trial<\/a> involved a diverse group of adults from the United States who took vitamin D3 supplements, omega-3 fatty acid supplements, or a combination of both for about five years. In this study, they used a double-blind, placebo-controlled approach, meaning some folks got the actual supplements while others got a placebo instead. Every female participant was at least fifty-five years old, while every male participant was at least fifty. Vitamin D recipients had modest telomere length reduction at two and four years. The placebo group had significant telomere shortening at both time points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalofficesofmanhattan.com\/es\/our-team\/dr-yoshua-quinones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Yoshua Quinones<\/a>, MD, a board-certified internist with Medical Offices of Manhattan who was not involved in the study, said, &#8220;If this is confirmed in future studies, this could mean that daily vitamin D supplements could actually help reduce risks for age-related diseases. This is a door for new medical guidelines in the future and will be a huge deal for preventive medicine.&#8221; <a
