The Claim
Eight weeks of supplementation with structured triglycerides or physical mixtures of EPA and DHA has no significant effect on muscular endurance or muscle fatigue during resistance exercise in healthy young men, despite an increase in the EPA/AA ratio.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Taking EPA and DHA supplements in structured triglyceride or mixed forms for eight weeks does not make healthy young men stronger or less fatigued during weight training, even though their blood levels of EPA relative to AA increase.
See the scientific wording
Eight weeks of supplementation with structured triglycerides or physical mixtures of EPA and DHA does not significantly improve muscular endurance or reduce muscle fatigue during resistance exercise in healthy young men, despite increases in the EPA/AA ratio.
What the research says
1 studyThe study gave men fish oil supplements for eight weeks and found that even though a key blood marker improved, their muscle strength and tiredness during workouts didn’t get better. So, the supplements didn’t help with muscle endurance.
