I recall reading several times that because fish oil reduces inflammation, this could have a (negative) effect on one's muscle gains. Is this just broscience or is there some truth to it? I'm not really sure what to think.

I think you would be fine using it. Just like everthing else,,,moderation.
It has some anti-inflammatory properties but not as a primary function. Even NSAIDS and ibuprofen at less than 3g won't hinder gains.Quote:

Wise words. Thanks.Quote:
