What can I expect from EPA / DHA / GLA?
The combination of omega fatty acids have many benefits, promoting muscle growth, fat degradation and the healing of joints. In this respect, EPA / DHA / GLA are important for development of a lean, muscular and healthy body. The overall effects depend on your eating habits and the use of additional supplements (BCAAs, from other fat burner).
To contain the effect of EPA/DHA/GLA, keep the quantity of base substrates constant over the course of the day, especially protein.
Function and Impact:
EPA / DHA / GLA contains high quality fish oil and evening primrose oil free from any impurities. Thus your body benefits from omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acids (DHA) and omega 6 fatty acid gamma-linolenic acid vital for the organism. Modern eating habits and the rejection of fish and fish products leads to a poor supply of these essential fatty acids and may affect your health and performance. Supplementing with EPA / DHA / GLA is thus recommended, mainly because the food containing EPA, DHA and GLA is often affected by pollution (e.g mercury in oily fish).
EPA / DHA / GLA boosts thermogenesis, or the body fat and energy metabolism. This increases the calories burned, improves the deficit in energy balance (balance between calories consumed and used up) thus promoting weight loss. Because the lipids act simultaneously, they are the ideal for diets.
In addition to all of these important features EPA / DHA / GLA sensitizes insulin in muscle cells. This sensitization of insulin and anabolic hormones in general, improves the penetration of insulin-building substrates such as creatine and amino acids into muscle cells thus stimulating muscle growth and reducing muscle breakdown.
Healthy omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids EPA / DHA / GLA are required for the production of haemoglobin (blood pigment), which transports oxygen to the tissues. The resulting increase of nutrients and oxygen in muscles increases energy and the supply of building substrates.
EPA / DHA / GLA also help to combat degeneration and support the healing of joints. Moreover, it can boost degradation of lactic acid, the metabolic by-product of intensive training.
In addition, the three essential fatty acids EPA, DHA and GLA have almost innumerable health benefits, contributing to a long and healthy life. They improve the immune system, brain function, the eyesight and effectively help to prevent: Artherosclerosis, cardiovascular problems, hypertension, cell membranes, eyes (ARMD), allergies, autoimmune diseases, cancers (breast, colon, lung, pancreas, prostate, liver), cellulites, diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity, high levels of fat in blood, muscle soreness or muscle pain, osteoporosis, rheumatism, arthritis, Alzheimer's, depression, multiple sclerosis, stress, asthma, bronchitis, premenstrual syndrome, infertility, eczema, psoriasis, chronic fatigue.
EPA / DHA / GLA have so many benefits and athletes and the health conscious should ensure a sufficient supply of these important supplements.
