The Omega-3 Index test is a valuable tool for determining if an athlete is getting enough omega-3s. A target range of 8-12% is considered ideal. Supplementation with a high-quality omega-3 product, such as Pillar, can help athletes meet their omega-3 needs and overcome the challenges faced by plant-based athletes. Timing and compliance are important factors in omega-3 supplementation. Athletes should aim for consistency and find a supplement that is easy to incorporate into their daily routine. Prioritizing health and nutrition, including omega-3 supplementation, is essential for optimal athletic performance and overall well-being.

This is a special episode. We were lucky enough to collaborate with Ryzon Apparel to bring forth an activation called the Fortissimo Lounge in Germany. We were in the company of brands such as Canyon, La Marzocco, HOKA and Maurten. The intention was to showcase the evolution of Jan Frodeno and how he has progressed to be the greatest triathlete of all time. We had the honour of doing a panel discussion with Maurten, hosted by Dr. Sebastian Zeller, founder of the Triathlon Crew to discuss the evolution of sports nutrition. In particular, macronutrition through Maurten and micronutrition through PILLAR. This is that discussion. Hope you enjoy.
