Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids that form structures in the cell membrane, provide sources of energy for the body, and maintain brain function. Poor conversion of these substances into bioavailable forms in the body may impact these functions. (source, source)
Poor conversion of omega-3 fatty acids into bioavailable forms can impair cell membrane integrity, reduce energy availability, and compromise brain function, which may lead to decreased focus and work capacity. Adequate omega-3 levels promote optimal cell function, provide a sustained energy source, and support cognitive performance, enhancing overall physical and cognitive capability and recovery.
Supplement with fish oil: Intake of omega-3 fatty acids increases blood omega-3 fatty acid levels, thereby improving omega-3 status in the body. (source) Recommendation: Supplement with at least 3 g of fish oil.
Supplement with algae: Supplementation with algae has been shown to positively affect omega-3 fatty acid levels. (source) Algae enhance omega-3 fatty acid levels in humans through their natural production of EPA and DHA, which can be consumed directly or through enriched foods, leading to improvements in omega-3 status. Recommendation: Consume at least 1 g of algae oil daily.
