The omega acids are vitally important to many who are trying to bulk up. They are important during the bulking and cutting phases of ones bodybuilding regime. These fatty acids are very important.

There is also Omega 6 that can be found in soy and sunflower oil and can also be found in a supplement form since there are very few items in their natural form that this can be found. Most adults, men and women should take about 3000 mg of this one each day. The amount of exercise and diet recommendations may change the amount though. It's probably best to consult a doctor about the Omega 6 before taking it.

A lot of bodybuilders also want to incorporate fat burners into their regime. One of those would be L-carnitine which is an amino acid and it can be found as a supplement and it will help metabolize the triglycerides in your body.
