This essential addition has become an important part of a healthy and athletic lifestyle. How can you optimally use protein powder in your daily life? In this article, we will discuss one of the most common combinations of supplements used by professionals and amateur athletes, Omega 3 fatty acids with protein powders.

How do protein powders & omega 3 work together?

Both professional and amateur athletes use a variety of supplements and practices to insure a better athletic performance, higher endurance and muscular maintenance and growth. For example, protein powder, creatine, amino acids, electrolytes and Omega 3 fatty acids. 

For decades, professional athletes and bodybuilders have been widely using Omega 3 fatty acids alongside protein powders as dietary supplements to support athletic performance. 

Omega 3 fatty acids are a type of fatty acids that have been shown to have a variety of health benefits, they help in maintaining the blood cholesterol levels, lowering blood pressure and improving cognitive functioning. 

In addition, Omega 3 supports and facilitates the metabolism and muscular production of proteins. When added to protein powders, it has the potential to improve athletic performance and enhance muscle mass and function. The magnitude of the effect depends upon the daily dose of protein intake. 

How does Omega 3 support the metabolism and muscular production of proteins?  

• Anti-inflammatory Effects of Omega-3 Fatty Acids thus reducing muscle soreness and swelling, allowing for faster recovery and improved performance.
• Mitochondrial Function The Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. One study has demonstrated that 12 weeks of omega 3 supplementation improved energy production, thus enhancing endurance and reducing fatigue. 
• Amino Acid, Omega 3 helps in the transport of amino acids into the muscle fibers thus enhancing muscle protein synthesis. 
• Protein synthesis Omega 3 supplementation increases skeletal muscle protein production markedly, thus helping in increasing the muscle mass and contributes to rapid healing.
