What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only This study
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial tests whether a daily algae-derived DHA supplement, combined with a 12-week strength training program, can improve muscle strength and cognitive function in healthy adults aged 25-35. Participants will be divided into groups receiving the algae supplement, a fish-oil supplement, strength training alone, or no intervention. Researchers will measure changes in muscle force, brain function, and blood markers of inflammation and nerve health to see if the plant-based omega-3 offers added benefits over training alone.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Algae-derived DHA (omega-3 fatty acid) combined with a 12-week strength training program
What this could lead to
If effective, this combination could offer a sustainable, plant-based way to enhance muscle strength and cognitive function in healthy adults, potentially benefiting aging populations.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial in healthy adults, so results may not apply to the general public. The benefits of omega-3 supplements and strength training are not guaranteed, and individual responses can vary.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 120 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Aug 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Jan 2030

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria for the training group: * 1-2 years of strength training experience, * without chronic or autoimmune diseases, * between the ages of 25 and 35, * not obese, * not taking omega-3 fatty acids, * not taking protein, BCAAs, creatine, anabolic steroids, or other supplements * for women: not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least 1 year after childbirth (to allow for hormonal balance to stabilize). For the control group (non-exercisers): \- Requirements as above, except for exercise: we recruit individuals who exercise less than 1 hour per week
