This is my personal experience I am sharing. Being a dietician I am always keen on keeping my diet well balanced, regularly taking supplements which are necessary considering age, heredity and other factors. But somehow I missed on omega-3. I thought that including variety of oils in my diet ensured that I got enough omega-3 and I do not need to take supplement for it. When I did my Sports Nutrition Specialist Course I once again read the importance of Omega-3 a healthy fat. I started on this supplement along with my daily multi-vitamin and calcium. Within a month I observed these changes - Less muscle soreness post exercise compared to earlier. More energy to exercise and to go on throughout the day. More Strength and Stamina - My muscle strenght increased, I could also exercise longer Quick recovery after injury - I had strained my patellar tendon-below knee, while doing lunges, but recovered in 4 days without any medication Increased BMR - I increased my diet but did not gain weight. Reduced inflammation - The swellings, aches and pains had reduced considerably
