Omega-3 and Inflammation
Omega-3 fats (EPA/DHA) may support recovery and inflammatory balance from food or supplements. They complement—not replace—sleep and training load control.
Omega-3 and inflammation covers EPA and DHA from fatty fish or algae—their role in resolving inflammatory signaling after hard training and poor sleep. Adequate intake may support joint comfort and recovery markers in some trials; megadoses do not replace sleep or load management.
Aim for food-first sources two to three times weekly, then supplement if intake is low.
