Ask the Pharmacist

I practice Triathlon, which supplement is best for joints and recovery after training?

Dear Alessio,


for his needs I consider Omegor Krill supplement, a product made from Krill oil, a small crustacean that lives Antarctic waters, to be suitable. Krill oil is rich in the omega-3s EPA and DHA in the form of phospholipids, a structure that makes them easily absorbed and usable by our bodies and increases their distribution to the nervous system and red blood cells.


In addition to omega-3, Omegor Krill is a source of choline and astaxanthin. Choline is an essential molecule for our bodies that is part of cell membranes and is involved in the transmission of nerve impulses. Astaxanthin is a red pigment with activity that functions as a natural preservative for the omega-3 fatty acids in the product. These characteristics make Omegor krill particularly suitable for athletes and those who lead busy lifestyles.  


You could also combine this supplement with Omegor Twinefa, a product that in addition to the omega-3 EPA and DHA from fish oil contains and omega-6 GLA extracted from borage oil; this combination provides a strong anti-inflammatory action that allows you to prevent and reduce inflammation of tendons and joints due to prolonged sports training. Regarding the positive effects of omega-3 on sports performance, I recommend reading an article published on our blog.
