If you train consistently, you may deal with joint and muscle soreness
and psychological stress. A healthy diet is essential, but it may not be
enough.
Since the typical American diet is seerely lac!ing in omega"# fatty
acids, a $sh oil supplement can help you ta!e your diet from good to
great.

$sh oil.

1. Decreases Inflammation
,ach competition or training session induces mechanical trauma at a
muscular leel. &his muscle damage can lead to the production of
arachidonic acid -AA., a substance that causes in/ammation.
Arachidonic acid can then further lead to the metabolism of
prostaglandin ,2 -01,2., another pro"in/ammatory substance. &his
can cause your muscles to ache, which can decrease your range of
motion, power and strength output, and oerall performance.
2. Promotes Anabolism/Metabolic Wellness
,2cessie in/ammation has been shown to increase muscle protein
brea!down. +ish oil improes the body3s ability to synthesi4e protein to
build muscle and metaboli4e fat and glucose for energy. So, if your goal
is to pac! on muscle and !eep up your energy, $sh oil is !ey.
