According to the NHS, a healthy diet should include at least two portions of fish a week including one of oily fish, however, in practice, this can be difficult for some.
Fish oil, in particular the EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) component has been shown to have many health benefits for the general population in addition to particular benefits for sports people. A modern diet tends to have too many Omega 6 & 9 fatty acids relative to Omega 3 for optimal function. Our brain, lungs, heart and muscles have all been shown to work better with fish oil supplementation. Long-term studies of high-dose fish oil supplementation have been shown to have favourable effects that would be of benefit to athletic performance.
OTE Omega 3 Fish Oil supplement contains both EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) in a contaminant-free form making it easy to consume sufficient quantities of essential fatty acids.
