This podcast episode explores the emerging role of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, in enhancing muscle preservation, recovery, and performance. Evidence suggests that omega-3s may mitigate muscle loss during disuse and aging by modulating protein synthesis, amino acid transport, and mitochondrial function. While more research is needed to determine optimal dosage and long-term effects, the findings highlight the potential of omega-3s as a promising nutritional strategy to support muscle health and combat muscle loss associated with aging and inactivity.
