Omega-3 Athlete (Solutex\u00ae)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Omega-3 Athlete<\/strong> is the most powerful omega-3 on the market for athletes: with 85% omega-3 fatty acids in triglyceride (TG) form, the highest concentration of EPA+DHA available in certified sports supplementation.<\/p>\n

It uses high-quality Solutex\u00ae fish oil sourced from small cold-water fish (anchovy, sardine, and horse mackerel), extracted using patented supercritical fluid technology (Flutex\u00ae) and purified and deodorized through another patented process (Cleantex\u00ae). The result is an oil of maximum purity, free from contaminants, with no fishy aftertaste or odor. Its EPA content is higher (1.3:1 ratio vs DHA), in line with the latest scientific evidence on the benefits of EPA in high-performance athletes.<\/p>\n

Format:<\/strong> 90 softgels (3 softgels = 2,550 mg of Omega-3). Certifications:<\/strong> Solutex\u00ae (OMEGATEX\u00ae 4535TG), IFOS (guaranteed purity)<\/a>, and Informed Sport (absence of doping substances). Recommended for:<\/strong> High-performance athletes, athletes during high-load phases, competition, and intensive recovery.<\/p>\n

Scientific Basis<\/strong><\/p>\n

Omega-3 fatty acids, especially EPA, play a key role in modulating the exercise-induced inflammatory response. Scientific evidence shows that the effects of omega-3 are dose-dependent and context-dependent: high doses of EPA+DHA (\u2265 1.5 \u2013 2 g\/day) show the greatest consistency in studies with athletes.<\/p>\n

To promote omega-3 incorporation at muscle level and support functional capacity, the literature points to an intake of ~1.86 g of EPA and ~1.50 g of DHA (EPA:DHA ratio ~1.25:1). Omega-3 Athlete has been formulated to achieve exactly this profile with a single daily serving of 3 softgels: 1,350 mg EPA + 1,050 mg DHA.<\/p>\n

Key Benefits<\/strong><\/p>\n

Muscle Recovery and DOMS Reduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

EPA is mainly responsible for modulating exercise-induced inflammation. Supplementation with high doses of omega-3 with EPA predominance helps reduce muscle damage, attenuate delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and speed up the return to optimal performance between sessions.<\/p>\n

Inflammatory Response Modulation<\/strong><\/p>\n

In athletes with high training loads, EPA acts as a precursor to resolvins and protectins, molecules that actively modulate inflammation. This does not mean blocking inflammation (which is necessary for adaptation), but rather managing it efficiently.<\/p>\n

Neuromuscular Support and Mitochondrial Function<\/strong><\/p>\n

EPA contributes to muscle membrane integrity, protein synthesis, and mitochondrial function. This translates into improved neuromuscular performance and greater efficiency in energy production.<\/p>\n

Protection and Maintenance of Muscle Mass<\/strong><\/p>\n

Omega-3 supplementation together with strength training and adequate protein intake improves muscle anabolism. It also plays an important role against protein breakdown, which is essential during peak training periods, injuries, or rest phases.<\/p>\n

Cardiovascular Health<\/strong><\/p>\n

EFSA recognizes that adequate EPA+DHA intake supports endothelial function, triglyceride regulation, and blood pressure, which are essential for maintaining performance in prolonged aerobic exercise.<\/p>\n

Cognitive Support<\/strong><\/p>\n

The DHA present in the formula (1,050 mg per serving) continues to support brain function, reaction time, and concentration.<\/p>\n

User and Sport Profile<\/strong><\/p>\n

Omega-3 Athlete is especially suitable for endurance sports (cycling, athletics, triathlon, trail running, swimming), strength and power disciplines (CrossFit, weightlifting, tennis, padel), team sports with congested match schedules (football, basketball, rugby), and any athlete during pre-season phases, volume blocks, or double sessions. Given its Informed Sport approval, it is recommended for elite athletes subject to anti-doping controls.<\/p>\n

Recommended Dosage<\/strong><\/p>\n

Standard Dose<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take 3 softgels daily with main meals. For convenience, the serving can be divided into several intakes. Take with foods containing fat to optimize absorption.<\/p>\n

Continuous Supplementation<\/strong><\/p>\n

To notice significant benefits in muscle recovery and inflammatory modulation, it is suggested to maintain consistent intake for at least 4 \u2013 12 months. The incorporation of EPA and DHA into cell membranes and muscle tissue occurs gradually, so regularity is key.<\/p>\n

Safety and Possible Side Effects<\/strong><\/p>\n

Omega-3 supplements are safe at doses of up to 5 g\/day of EPA+DHA according to EFSA. Thanks to Solutex\u00ae Cleantex\u00ae purification and deodorization technology, Omega-3 Athlete does not produce fishy aftertaste or odor, something common in other omega-3 products on the market. Natural vitamin E (D-alpha-tocopherol) is added as an antioxidant. If using anticoagulants or in case of chronic conditions, consult your doctor.<\/p>\n

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)<\/strong><\/p>\n

What are omega-3 fatty acids?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Omega-3s are essential polyunsaturated fatty acids that the body cannot produce on its own. The two most important are EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), found, among others, in fish oils. They contribute to cardiovascular, brain, joint health, and the modulation of inflammation.<\/p>\n

Why is EPA important for athletes?<\/strong><\/p>\n

EPA is the main modulator of the exercise-induced inflammatory response. It acts as a precursor to resolvins and protectins, molecules that actively modulate inflammation. This translates into less muscle damage, reduced delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and better recovery between sessions.<\/p>\n

What does 85% omega-3 mean?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It means that, from each gram of fish oil, 850 mg are pure omega-3 fatty acids, most of which are EPA and DHA. This is the highest percentage on the market in sports supplementation, making Omega-3 Athlete the most powerful omega-3 per softgel for athletes.<\/p>\n

What is triglyceride form (TG), and why is it better?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Omega-3s can be presented in triglyceride (TG) or ethyl ester (EE) form. TG form is the natural form of fish oil and offers significantly higher bioavailability. Many brands use EE because it is cheaper and more stable, but Crown uses TG form to maximize effectiveness.<\/p>\n

How long does it take to take effect?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The incorporation of EPA and DHA into cell membranes is gradual. Initial effects may be noticed after the first 2 weeks, but optimal benefits are achieved with continuous intake for 4 to 12 months.<\/p>\n

Does it cause fishy aftertaste or odor?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. Thanks to Solutex\u00ae Cleantex\u00ae technology (advanced purification and deodorization), any residual fishy taste and odor are eliminated. The softgels are pleasant to take with no aftertaste.<\/p>\n

Is it safe to take omega-3 daily?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes. According to EFSA, long-term EPA+DHA intake of up to 5 g\/day is safe. If taking anticoagulants, consult your doctor.<\/p>\n

What does IFOS certification guarantee?<\/strong><\/p>\n

IFOS (International Fish Oil Standards) is the world\u2019s most rigorous certification program for fish oils. It certifies purity, potency, and freshness. In addition, Crown performs its own heavy metal analysis on every batch of finished product.<\/p>\n

Where does the fish oil come from?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The oil comes from small cold-water fish: anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus), sardine (Sardina pilchardus), and horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus). Small species accumulate fewer contaminants, ensuring greater purity.<\/p>\n

Is it suitable for competition?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes. Informed Sport certification guarantees that every batch has been tested to rule out prohibited substances. Crown was the first Spanish company to obtain this certification.<\/p>\n

Can I take it if I am not a professional athlete?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, although its formulation is optimized for athletes with high training loads. If your main goal is general health and cognitive function, Omega-3 PRO may be more suitable for your profile.<\/p>\n

Does it interfere with other supplements?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No adverse interactions have been reported. It can be combined with proteins, creatine, amino acids, multivitamins, and other supplements.<\/p>\n

How is Omega-3 Athlete different from Omega-3 PRO?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Omega-3 PRO is an excellent omega-3 that thousands of athletes already use with great results, also during high-load periods. Its 5:1 DHA:EPA ratio makes it especially powerful for brain health, nervous system function, and cognitive function. Omega-3 Athlete goes one step further specifically in muscle recovery and inflammation modulation thanks to its 1.3:1 EPA:DHA ratio. It is not that one is bad and the other is good \u2014 both are excellent. But for periods of maximum load and intensive recovery, Omega-3 Athlete offers an EPA profile that is even more optimized for that goal.<\/p>\n

\"Omega-3<\/p>\n

Can I combine Omega-3 PRO and Omega-3 Athlete?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, it is a scientifically justified protocol. Omega-3 PRO as a continuous year-round base (health and nervous system) and Omega-3 Athlete during high-load phases, pre-season, or competition (recovery and performance). This way you cover the full spectrum of omega-3 benefits.<\/p>\n

If I am already taking Omega-3 PRO, should I switch to Omega-3 Athlete?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not necessarily. If Omega-3 PRO works well for you, keep using it \u2014 it is an excellent product that also works very well for high-level athletes. Omega-3 Athlete is an even more specific option for maximum-load phases, pre-season, or competition blocks where muscle recovery is a priority. You can alternate or combine them depending on your stage of the season.<\/p>\n

Suggested Use<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take 3 Omega-3 Athlete softgels daily with your main meals. Divide the serving across meals throughout the day for greater convenience and more sustained absorption. To maximize benefits, maintain continuous supplementation for at least 4 \u2013 12 weeks, especially during high-load or competition phases.<\/p>\n
