Fish oil as a source of hormone pool

Fish oil as a source of hormone pool |
For many trainees, failure in the gym is the reason for insufficient testosterone in the body. The situation can be corrected by adding fish oil products to your diet..
Fish oil is known to be a source of omega-3 essential polyunsaturated fatty acids. Among the main fatty acids of this class are eicosapentaenoic (EPA / EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA / DHA) acids.

According to some scientific data (Phang M, Sinclair AJ, Lincz LF, Garg ML (2012). Gender-specific inhibition of platelet aggregation following omega-3 fatty acid supplementation // Nutrition, Metabolism & Cardiovascular Diseases, 22 (2), p. 109-114), EPA and DHA have a positive effect on the secretion of sex hormones involved in muscle synthesis, with EPA stimulating the production of testosterone in men and DHA - estrogen in women.
Eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids are found in marine fish fat - salmon, marine mollusks, Atlantic herring, mackerel, sardine, cod liver, some seaweed and linseed oil. Mainly (with the exception of linseed oil) is absent in vegetable fats, because they have a polyunsaturated fat class Omega-6.

Moreover, the fact that EPA and DHA are involved in the regulation of body fat is scientifically proven. This means that omega-3 fatty acids must certainly be in the diet of bodybuilders, especially during the drying period..
Thus, using foods with a high content of omega-3 fatty acids can increase the level of synthesis of sex hormones in a natural way. However, do not forget that the main building material of the testosterone molecule is zinc, which is found in large quantities in bran, sprouted wheat grains, nuts, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, beef, lamb, and also the above-mentioned (and unnamed) seafood, and zinc from animal products absorbed better.
