What this Trial Is About
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of omega-3 on physical performance and recovery of Soldiers. Objectives 1: Assess the impact of 8-weeks of daily consumption of 1600mg of omega-3 fortified smoothie on O3I response. Objective 2: Determine the relationship between O3I and measures of performance and recovery. Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to placebo group or to the omega-3 fortified smoothie group. * The intervention group will take omega-3 fortified smoothies and controls will consume a non-fortified smoothie, five days a week for 8 weeks. * Participate in Army Combat Fitness Tests (ACFT) * Complete surveys that assess dietary intake, physical activity (PAQ) and sleep quality (PSQI). * Complete a finger prick to determine omega-3 index. Assessments will be collected pre/post intervention. Researchers will compare intervention and placebo groups to see if omega-3 levels increase, and improve physical performance and recovery.
