This is interesting …
This is interesting.
I’m a vegetarian. I take flaxseed oil tablets and also get omega 3s from excellent sources such as walnuts, olive oil and soy oil.
Flaxseed oil contains ALA which is essential and enables our brains to make all other omega 3s, rather than fish oil which only contains EPA and DHA.
Fish is most often highly contaminated (mercury, cadmium etc.), so we shouldn’t have more than 2 servings a week.
For these reasons, I think flaxseed oil is a better supplement than fish oil.
