OMEGA-3 (EPA/DHA)
 
🛡️ Anti-inflammatory Support: Reduces systemic inflammation by modulating cytokines and prostaglandins—key in managing joint pain, tendonitis, and chronic inflammatory conditions.

​💪 Muscle Preservation & Recovery: Helps reduce muscle breakdown, enhances recovery after exercise, and supports muscle protein synthesis, especially in aging or injury.

🦴 Bone & Joint Health: Improves calcium absorption, supports cartilage integrity, and may reduce symptoms of osteoarthritis.

🧠 Cognitive & Mood Function: Supports brain cell membrane structure and neurotransmission. Shown to reduce depression, anxiety, and cognitive decline.

❤️ Cardiovascular Health: Lowers triglycerides, supports healthy blood pressure, reduces clotting, and improves overall heart rhythm stability.

🧬 Cell Membrane Integrity: Provides fluidity and stability to cell membranes, enhancing nutrient transport and cellular communication.
 
Omega-3s protect joints, preserve muscle tissue, & promote faster recovery by controlling inflammation & enhancing metabolic repair processes—making them essential for both injury prevention & performance optimization.
