HEALTHSTRONG SUPPORT
Omega-3 (EPA/DHA)
If you don't eat fatty fish 2–3x/week, this is one of the few worth taking.
EFFECTIVE DOSE
1–3 g/day combined EPA+DHA (read the label — not total fish oil)
HOW IT WORKS
Precursors to anti-inflammatory eicosanoids; incorporate into cell membranes.
WHAT THE EVIDENCE SUPPORTS
- Cardiovascular support
- Modest anti-inflammatory effect
- Small MPS-sensitizing signal in older adults
WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR
- '1000 mg fish oil' ≠ 1000 mg EPA+DHA. Read the actual EPA and DHA lines.
- Cheap fish oil oxidizes fast — buy from third-party tested brands.
SIDE EFFECTS
- Fishy burps, GI issues. Blood-thinning at very high doses.
