Can Fish Oil Build Muscle and Help You Lose Fat??

In the general sense, the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil supplements play a direct or indirect role in pretty much every single one of the processes taking place inside your body when you’re trying to build muscle, lose fat, maintain muscle, recover from workouts, etc..

Will fish oil actually burn fat or build muscle by itself? No. But, it most definitely will play a role in those processes and help improve your body’s ability to make them happen.

For example, two separate studies I’ve seen both reached similar conclusions: people lose more fat when they combine proper diet and exercise WITH a fish oil supplement, as opposed to people who just eat right and exercise correctly WITHOUT fish oil.
