Omega 3 is an irreplaceable source of nutrients for the body and an essential element in the composition of the intercellular space. You can get it by consuming large amounts of oily fish every day or by taking special supplements such as Ultimate Nutrition Omega-3.
The health benefits of Omega 3
Omega 3 fatty acids are extremely beneficial for the cardiovascular system. When taken regularly, the walls of blood vessels and fibers of the heart muscle are strengthened, which reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke. Omega 3 has a beneficial effect on the nervous system by activating the work of brain cells and helping to strengthen neural connections. Among other things, beneficial fatty acids contribute to the prevention of neoplasms, as well as weight loss.
Unfortunately, fish is not always present in the daily diet of a modern person. But a large number of products are used, which include the so-called "harmful" fats, from which the vessels suffer, and the scales show extra pounds.
It should be noted that Omega 3 is not synthesized in the body on its own, it gets inside exclusively from the outside. Therefore, it is so important to ensure that the menu must include fish, or enrich the diet with special supplements containing fatty acids.
Ultimate Nutrition's Omega-3 supplement provides EPA and DHA, which are considered to be the most beneficial and essential for the body, to meet the daily need for fatty acids.
The spectrum of action of these polyunsaturated fats is very wide:
- maintaining the elasticity of the vessel walls;
- strengthening the heart muscle;
- stimulation of the production of natural hormones;
- restoration of the nervous system;
- improving brain function;
- normalization of sleep.

Application
Fish oil must be taken daily. It is especially useful for those who regularly engage in strength training and build muscle mass, as well as for all people losing weight or dieting.
The number of capsules for admission depends on individual characteristics: rhythm of life, diet, physical activity.
The minimum daily dose is 3 capsules per day, one for three meals. The condition for the use of Omega 3 with food is not mandatory, the main thing is not to take all the capsules at the same time, there should be a uniform time interval between them.
It is not recommended to consume fatty acids before the upcoming serious physical activity or going to the gym, as they are poorly absorbed due to the decreased activity of the gastrointestinal tract during exercise. After exercising, Omega 3 is also not recommended for intake, as it restores energy and builds muscle carbohydrates and proteins, the absorption of which is slowed down by the influence of fats. This should be taken into account when planning the timing of the supplement.
Compatibility with other products
If we talk about sports nutrition, then its simultaneous intake with Omega 3 is undesirable. Of course, this will not harm the body, but the active substances necessary for obtaining muscle mass will simply not be absorbed under the influence of fats. The optimal solution would be to take Omega 3 with food. The capsule should be washed down with a sufficient amount of liquid for its rapid dissolution. If Omega 3 and sports nutrition supplements are needed, take a break of at least 15 minutes between them.
