ULTRA OMEGA
Like all PILLAR products, fast absorption is key for our athletes. As such, Ultra Omega uniquely uses fish oil that goes through a process of rebuilding each EPA and DHA fatty acid with its original Triglyceride backbone before inserting back into the capsule. This makes their Omega-3 bio identical to the Omega-3 found originally in the fish, which means it's 70% more absorbable!

FAQ
The benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids are plentiful, but specifically for performance, a number stand out that athletes need to consider. EPA can counteract inflammation and reduce mild joint pain. DHA can help to keep the lining of your arteries smooth and clear, which allows for the maximum amount of oxygen-rich blood to reach your working muscles (and your brain!)
One study showed that fish oil might work to reduce both whole-body and myocardial oxygen demand during exercise, without a decrease in performance. In this case, researchers evaluated 16 cyclists randomly assigned to receive 8 grams of fish oil per day or olive oil placebo.
EPAs (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) main function is to produce chemicals called eicosanoids, which help reduce systemic inflammation. EPAs have also been shown to help reduce symptoms of depression, as well as help manage cholesterol, triglyceride and blood pressure levels.
DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) makes up about 8% of brain weight and contributes to brain development and function.
Ultra Omega uniquely uses fish oil that goes through a process of rebuilding each EPA and DPA fatty acid with its original Triglyceride backbone before inserting back into the capsule. This makes their Omega-3 bio identical to the Omega-3 found originally in the fish, which means it's 70% more absorbable!
Omega 3 fats reduce inflammation by counteracting free radicals which have the potential to damage cells. Exercise though also produces free radicals – which are an important part of adaptation – but in excess can also cause damage, ongoing soreness and pain.
The benefits of fish oil come from longer-term and consistent use. They can be taken any time of day, but the fats are best absorbed in conjunction with fats within a meal. Morning and evening meals make this easy and consistent.
