Fish Oil

A highly concentrated source of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). Fish oil is a premier anti-inflammatory supplement, promoting joint recovery, heart health, and cognitive function.

Fish Oil

Recommended Intake & Goals

Take 1-2g of active EPA/DHA daily with a fat-containing meal to maximize absorption.

Preparation & Usage Steps

  1. EPA and DHA are absorbed and incorporated into the phospholipid bilayer of cells.
  2. EPA competes with arachidonic acid, reducing the production of inflammatory eicosanoids.
  3. DHA supports brain health and myelin sheath integrity, improving neural signaling speed.

Nutrition Cues

"Look for molecularly distilled, third-party tested fish oils to avoid heavy metals."
"Choose liquid forms for high dosage, or enteric-coated gel caps to prevent fishy aftertaste."
"Store in the refrigerator."

Preparation Tips

  • Take 2g of high-potency liquid fish oil daily during intense training or contact sports blocks; EPA/DHA helps protect brain cells and reduce neuroinflammation.
  • Pair fish oil with Vitamin D3 in the morning; the healthy fats in fish oil maximize the absorption of the fat-soluble Vitamin D3.

Synergistic Foods & Bio-boosts

  • Anti-Inflammatory Morning Routine: Take 1 tsp high-quality liquid fish oil with a breakfast containing whole eggs.
