12 Potential Benefits of Fish Oil

Fish oil is high in the omega-3 fats EPA and DHA. These fatty acids may have several benefits for bodybuilders, such as reduced muscle soreness and less severe DOMS. They may also aid muscle strength and range of motion, though more studies are needed.The same rule applies like it did for protein synthesis that the more omega-3s you have the better your body function as it burns more fat for energy as you exercise. In this study, 44 men and women received either 4 grams per day of safflower oil or 4 grams per day of fish oil (1600 mg EPA and 800 mg DHA).
