MOOP's Take
My 2018 lipid panel showed borderline-high triglycerides (159 mg/dL). Omega-3 is one of the few supplements with A-level evidence for reducing triglycerides. Also critical for joint health — which matters when you're doing slow-rep resistance training past 45.
My Protocol
TimingAM with fat (or split AM/PM with meals)
Dose1–2g EPA+DHA combined (not total fish oil — read the EPA/DHA line specifically)
NotesIncluded in the Melaleuca Peak Performance Pack. I've taken this for years. If you're eating salmon 3x a week you can probably skip a day, but for most people this is essential.

💪 Coach Arnie
Joint health is performance. Don't wait until your knees hurt to start Omega-3.
🩺 Doc Hartley
His triglyceride trend was up across 3 consecutive panels (2013–2018). Omega-3 at 2g EPA+DHA daily has consistent evidence for 15–20% triglyceride reduction. Read the EPA+DHA label — a '1000mg fish oil' capsule might only contain 300mg EPA+DHA.
