NCT06462898 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
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.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06462898
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06462898 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 100 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, which has 39 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Nutrition, Healthy appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Omega-3 Fortified Protein Smoothie is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06462898 reports 2 study locations spanning 2 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Kentucky, New York. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
