Omega-3 fats is extremely beneficial for health and bodybuilding reasons. New research shows there may be yet another reason to take omega-3. One study was done on obese individuals and a very low calorie diet. The group who supplemented with Omega-3 (unfortunately not listed in amount) lost 3 more lbs then their counterparts. They also had lower inflammatory hormone Fibrinogen and lower hip circumference.

The study was only over 3 weeks with obese individuals, so 3 lbs is significant difference between the two groups. This isn’t the only study, as there are a few other studies that point to a connection, even with leaner people. This shows that not only is omega-3 beneficial in aiding fat loss during cutting, but it might also help against fat gain during bulking.
