Omega-3 fatty acids and muscle health
Omega-3 fatty acids play a role in protecting against muscle disuse atrophy. The incorporation of omega-3s into cell membranes may improve skeletal muscle health and function. The mechanism of action is not yet fully understood, but it may involve regulating inflammation and influencing mitochondrial function. Omega-3 fatty acids should be consumed in adequate amounts to experience their potential benefits for muscle health. Recommended doses vary depending on individual needs, but around 1-2 grams per day of EPA and DHA is generally considered safe and beneficial.
