Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 3

Fatty acid or fat/oil supplements, such as omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA from fish oil) and sometimes medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), are often used to support muscle health and function. Scientific evidence suggests that omega-3 fatty acids may help reduce exercise-induced muscle soreness, support muscle protein synthesis, and potentially aid in the preservation of muscle mass, especially in older adults. Several randomized controlled trials have demonstrated that supplementation with fish oil can improve muscle anabolic signaling and muscle strength when combined with resistance training, particularly in elderly populations (Smith et al., 2015). The proposed mechanisms include anti-inflammatory effects, enhanced muscle cell membrane fluidity, and improved blood flow to muscles.

Evidence for other types of fat or oil supplements (such as coconut oil or generic blends) is less robust, with limited or no direct studies showing clear benefits for muscle health or function. The overall quality of evidence for omega-3s is moderate, with more research needed to determine optimal dosing and applicability to various populations. Thus, while not all fat/oil supplements are equally supported, there is scientific validation—especially for omega-3s—of their potential to support the muscular system.
