Omega3

[Wilhelm44]

Extra options:   Soak a tablespoon of chia seeds in a glass of water for 15 to 20 minutes. 

(Omega 3, protein, fibre, and good for the gut lining.)

Two tablespoons a day.

You can’t compare between Omega 3 and protein from a fish to a plant.

It's O3 ALA but i daily use Walnut oil for that.

You can buy cans of salmon instead.

Canned Salmon is very high in mercury as well.

Canned salmon: 4.5 µg per 100 g

Canned light tuna: 5.4 µg per 100 g

Well then, sardines instead.

Apparently canned sardines contain a lot of BPA and plastic because of the can lining, so pick glass jars if avaliable

Industrial salmon might have much lower omega 3 as far as I know. Wild salmon is a better option but much more expensive.

@aleks2 Sardines. From what I’ve read they pretty low in heavy metals since it’s a small short lived fish. And pretty packed with omegas. Almost like taking the capsule lol

@Wilhelm44 the conversion ratio for omegas from chia is shit. If you want to go plant based flax seeds are way better

Where is this coming from? Both forms have ALA — same molecule, same conversion rate to EPA and DHA.

Flax has slightly more ALA per gram, but that's it.
