When they give like 5 grams of fish oil to elderly, they see anabolic results. Also, this sort of dose prevents muscle atrophy when you have an injury and have to be in a cast or something.
Is this all applicable to bodybuilders? Likely not, but here are some interesting points.
The results only manifested after using 5 grams a day and for like 6 weeks. The researcher says that the cell membranes have to be saturated for us to see beneficial results. So a bodybuilder who weighs probably 2x as much as the people in this research probably has to take an extraordinary amount of fish oil to see some kind of anabolism from it (if such anabolism is even possible for a bodybuilder. maybe it is not)
Also, maybe very high fish oil may work to prevent atrophy during an injury when you cannot train a muscle. Maybe for a bodybuilder on steroids, there will be zero added benefit -but then again maybe there will be benefits in terms of preventing atrophy....
Worth a listen.
