According to one 2002 study by NASA and U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric                                                                                                 Administration scientists, phytoplankton concentrations have declined by as much                                                                                                       as 30 percent in northern oceans since the early 1980s. Above, a world map compares                                                                                        satellite data collected during the summer between 1979 and 1986 and 1997 to 2000.                                                                                                     The map reflects changes in phytoplankton concentrations over the last 20 years in the open                                                                                          ocean. Deep blues show the greatest loss of phytoplankton. Yellow represents almost no change.                                                                                                 Browns, reds, and oranges show phytoplankton increases.                                                                                                                                                Black indicates that no data is available. From the image above you can see that the northern and southern tips of Mother Earth are losing                                                                 phytoplankton, while the equatorial regions are getting a boost.

Fish Oils

Fish oil has a long history of being effectively used to fight inflammation. Go to the bottom of the page for scientific proof . Hopefully you understand the techs info.

It does such things as:

• Suppressing T-cell activation and proliferation
• Maintaining T-cell homeostasis through the contraction of populations of activated T cells
• Reduction of inflammatory cytokines and eicosanoids
• Promotion of apoptosis

The essential fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) present in fish oils displays beneficial effects in a range of human disorders associated with inflammation including cardiovascular disease. . These results demonstrate novel counterregulatory responses in inflammation initiated via RvE1 receptor activation that provide the first evidence for EPA-derived potent endogenous agonists of antiinflammation. ^{--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------}

Natural bioactive substances in milk and colostrum: effects on the arterial blood pressure system.

High blood pressure is a significant public health problem worldwide which is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and renal disease. The development of this disease is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. The results of many studies have linked increased consumption of milk and milk products with lower blood pressure and reduced risk of hypertension.  More recent data indicate that a dietary pattern that is low in fat, with fruits, vegetables, and low fat dairy products can significantly reduce blood pressure and lower risk of developing high blood pressure.

Dose effects of oral bovine colostrum on physical work capacity in cyclists.

Coombes JS, Conacher M, Austen SK, Marshall PA.

 CONCLUSION: Oral bovine colostrum supplementation at 20 g or 60 g/d provided a small but significant improvement in time trial performance in cyclists after a 2-h ride at 65% VO2max.

The effect of bovine colostrum supplementation on exercise performance in elite field hockey players.

In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study, we investigated the effect of 8 weeks of supplementation with bovine colostrum (Intact) on body composition and exercise performance (5 x 10-m sprint, vertical jump, shuttle-run test, and suicide test). Seventeen female and 18 male elite field hockey players, including players from the Dutch national team, received either 60 g of colostrum or whey protein daily.  It is concluded that in elite field hockey players, colostrum supplementation improves sprint performance better than whey. However, there were no differences with regard to body composition or endurance performance.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of 8 wk of bovine colostrum supplementation on body composition and exercise performance in active men and women. Subjects were randomly assigned to a placebo (whey protein) and colostrum group (20 g/d in powder form). ....... Thus, supplementation with bovine colostrum (20 g/d) in combination with exercise training for 8 wk may increase bone-free lean body mass in active men and women.
