According to neurosurgeon Dr. Joseph Maroon, Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega Sport provides the best source of omega-3s for athletes in training.

My clinical research with patients and with professional football players clearly indicates the importance of fish oil for athletes and sports participants,” said Dr. Maroon.

“Being 33 years of age I’m considered an older player in rugby terms, my body has taken its’ fair share of knocks. I found that after taking the Ultimate Omega Sport my joints weren’t as achy and I had more mobility so my recovery time was quicker which meant I was playing more consistently both in competition games and in training.”

Team-mate and Number 8 Magpies player, 22 year old Michael Coman, suffers from a chronic knee injury and reported that through taking Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega Sport his usual next day stiffness after training was alleviated.

“After a heavy training session my knee didn’t stiffen up as much as it used to prior to taking fish oils. My recovery time also improved, as I felt I was much fresher for the next days training. I also went the whole season without illness, no head colds or flu’s which I feel can be accredited to the fish oils as they may have helped with my resilience, bolstering my immunity.”
