Fish oil is beneficial for everyone and has numerous health advantages. It contains Omega-3 Fatty Acids which are essential fats. 'Essential' fats are the fats that our bodies don't produce on it's own so we must get it from our diet. The two most common of these essential fats are EPA and DHA. High amounts of these healthy fats are found in fish like Salmon, Herring, Sardines and Tuna, but it's good to take in additional fish oil. Research also shows that consuming these fats supports the normal development of the brain, eyes and nerves and may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
Omega-3's are also beneficial for those looking to put on muscle! They have been shown to support muscle protein synthesis and limit muscle protein degradation. Additionally, EPA and DHA supports insulin function and increases glucose and fatty acid uptake to the cells which sends the nutrients to the muscle providing it with more fuel!
With all of the health benefits that fish oils provide (plus the fact that a bottle is just about 7 bucks) this is a supplement that nobody should be without!
