Research Study - for women over 50 with knee pain
CHAMP STUDY
We are inviting women over the age of 50, who experience knee pain on most days, to participate in a research study investigating the effects of collagen hydrolysate or milk protein on joint comfort (sore or stiff knees) and skin appearance.
Participation involves taking 1 of 3 supplements (collagen, milk protein or placebo) each day for 4 months and attending two visits (4 months apart) to the Human Nutrition Research Unit (HNRU) at Massey University, Palmerston North.
For more information, scan the QR code or contact the research team: 021 764 868 (06) 951 6321.
The study has been approved by the Health and Disability Ethics Committee, HDEC Ethics Reference 2022 EXP 12925
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
