Micronutrients & recovery
Omega-3 fatty acid supplementation and consumption increase adiponectin levels, particularly in individuals with low basal levels, improving metabolic and oxidative profiles.
Consider increasing your intake of omega-3 fatty acids through fish oil supplements or omega-3 rich foods like fish. This can significantly raise your adiponectin levels, especially if your baseline levels are low, leading to better lipid and glucose metabolism.
GoodSupportsMEDIUM confidence
Research showed that the consumption of omega-3 in people with the lowest basal levels of adiponectin had the greatest effect on lipid profiles, whereas in individuals with moderate basal adiponectin, the major effect was on oxidative profiles.

More from this paper
- Adiponectin levels are negatively correlated with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, and healthy nutrition (specifically unsaturated fats and omega-3) significantly increases adiponectin levels.Good
- Physical activity stimulates the production and release of adiponectin, which enhances glucose uptake and fatty acid oxidation through AMPK activation.Good
