it's possible that omega-3 rather than just fighting disuse atrophy may actually improve our overall muscle protein synthesis response and thereby enhance our muscles ability to grow

The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
if so omega-3 might not only be anti-catabolic but potentially actively anabolic in these contexts now let's be real in a world where the recommended daily allowance for protein intake could be 50 higher and still not fully optimal for hypertrophy any effect that makes sub-optimal protein intake a bit less sub-optimal would be appreciated
