Training hard causes inflammation and can cause delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), which results in stiffness, swelling, strength loss and pain. That can destroy your training routine. Studies suggest that by taking omega-3 fatty acids, you’ll have less inflammation, better blood flow and a better range of motion, so you can get back to hitting the weights even sooner.

MORE INTENSE WORKOUTS

A scientific study has suggested that taking fish oil helps you transport and utilize oxygen better during workouts. It also keeps you from hitting the respiration wall, where your body forces you to breathe heavily. This allows workouts to be longer and more intense so you can see bigger gains.

REDUCE FAT IN YOUR BLOODSTREAM

Scientific evidence indicates that fish oil and its active ingredients EPA and DHA help to reduce triglycerides, a type of fat (lipid) found in your blood. You need some triglycerides for good health, but high triglycerides can raise your risk of heart disease and may be a sign of metabolic syndrome. Your body takes excess levels of triglycerides and stores them in your cells as fat.

BOOSTS YOUR BRAIN

Several scientific studies have looked at the effect of omega-3 fats on the healthy development and ideal function of the brain. There is enough evidence to suggest that omega-3 fats help support cognitive health and/or brain function, allowing you to think clearly and concisely, which is exactly what you need in the gym to make the most out of your workout.

OMEGA•OIL EFAs ARE OF THE BEST SOURCE AND QUALITY

EFAs and omega-3 oils can come from a number of sources, including flaxseeds and fish oil. But all sources of EFAs are not the same. OMEGA•OIL uses a special blend of three types of fish oil, and fish oil has been scientifically shown to trigger the most rapid increase of key EFA components in the blood – much faster than flax oil, even when fish oil is given at a lower dose. The key ingredients in OMEGA•OIL get into your system sooner so you can reap the benefits of omega-3 supplementation faster.

And you never have to worry about the quality of OMEGA•OIL because we use a special molecular distillation process. This process removes all the PCBs, metals and other destructive toxins that can build up in the oils harvested from fish.

What are the different types of fats, and why are some essential?

Everyone talks about fats and how they affect your health – good fats, bad fats, trans fats, saturated fats, mono- and poly-unsaturated, essential fatty acids and non-essential, omega-3, -6 and -9 … it can all be a bit confusing. So which fats do you need to be healthy? (And yes, you actually do need fats for good health.)

BAD TYPES OF FATS

Trans fats: These are the worst kind of fat for your body. While some trans fats occur naturally in trace amounts in meat and dairy products, most are artificially created. By subjecting unsaturated fats to a process called hydrogenation, they’re turned into trans fats. This process is done to raise the fat’s melting point for use in baking and to extend the products’ shelf life. It used to be primarily used for margarines and shortenings.

Saturated fats: These are a very unhealthy type of fat that has been linked to heart disease. They’re called saturated fats because their structure is saturated with hydrogen atoms. This type of fat results in fatty materials building up on the artery walls. Some foods that have a high percentage of saturated fat include dairy products, animal fats such as lard and fatty meat, coconut oil, cottonseed oil, palm kernel oil, chocolate and some prepared foods. Because of the high protein intake of the typical bodybuilder’s diet, this is a type of fat bodybuilders should concern themselves with.

GOOD TYPES OF FATS

Unsaturated: This type of fat is called unsaturated because its structure isn’t saturated with hydrogen atoms. This category includes both monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.

Within the polyunsaturated group is a type of fat called omega-3. Omega-3 fat is important to the healthy functioning of your body and has been shown to have a wide variety of health benefits. Omega-3s are considered an essential fatty acid, or EFA. They’re essential because your body requires them to function, but unlike other types of fat, your body cannot create EFAs. The only way your body can get omega-3 fat is through your diet. Good sources of omega-3s include fish, seeds and nuts. The problem is that most people don’t consume enough omega-3s; therefore supplementation is required.

Should my OMEGA•OIL smell like fish?

Even though the special blend of three-fish oil in every OMEGA•OIL capsule undergoes a special molecular distillation process, your capsules may have a slight fish smell. This is natural.

I’ve read about other fish-oil supplements going rancid. Should I be concerned about OMEGA•OIL?

FUSION BODYBUILDING strives to provide only the highest quality products and has never had a case of rancid capsules. However, omega-3 oils are susceptible to oxidation by their very nature. To counteract this and stabilize the oil in OMEGA•OIL capsules, FUSION has added vitamin E. If you have any concerns that your pill is rancid, there is a simple test. Carefully cut a capsule open and taste a small amount of the oil. If the oil is rancid, it will taste absolutely foul, far above and beyond the pungent taste of pure fish oil. If this is the case, please let FUSION BODYBUILDING know. To prevent any oil from going bad, it is important not to store it in a warm location and to use it in a timely manner. Every bottle of OMEGA•OIL has an expiry date that should be adhered to.
