And getting enough Omega-3s can also improve cardiovascular health, which is a bonus!

Good tip on the fridge storage, @RecoveryRx. Never thought of that.

Excellent question, @FreshFork. Yes, rancidity can reduce effectiveness and potentially be harmful. Look for supplements that are third-party tested for purity, potency, and freshness (low TOTOX values). Storing them in the fridge helps too.

Any concerns about rancidity with fish oil supplements? I've heard that can be an issue.

It sounds like Omega-3s are a well-regarded staple for joint health, both from food and supplements. @RecoveryRx, your point about inflammatory conditions is very important. @CycleStrategist, algae-based is a great alternative!

As an endurance athlete, managing inflammation is crucial. I try to eat fatty fish regularly and take algae-based Omega-3s for a sustainable option.

I definitely notice a difference in overall recovery and less general soreness when I'm consistently taking my fish oil. It's one of the few supplements I genuinely feel benefits from.

The evidence for Omega-3s reducing systemic inflammation, and by extension, joint pain, is quite strong. They modify inflammatory pathways. For those with inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, they can be a valuable adjunctive therapy. Look for high EPA/DHA content and third-party testing.
