VEGAN Omega 3 Sources BETTER Than FISH | LIVEKINDLY

- Can you get all of the essential Omega-3 fatty acids on a plant-based diet? Omega-3s are important for your physical and mental health, and there are three types that our bodies need - ALA, EPA and DHA. According to the National Institutes of Health, adult males require 1.6 g of ALA each day, and females require 1.1g each day.
According to Dr. Mills and Dr. Radak, our bodies can convert alpha-linoleic acid (ALA) from plant sources into EPA and DHA, though how well your body converts them varies from person to person. You can also obtain a good dose of EPA and DHA directly from algae oil and seaweed products. The reason why fish are high in omega-3s is that they consume microalgae and seaweed.
Plant sources of ALA include walnuts, chia seeds, flax seeds, Brussels sprouts, avocado oil, tofu, and kidney beans. Many plant-based beverages are also fortified with omega-3s, so be sure to check the label.

What are your favorite plant-based omega-3 sources?
LIVEKINDLY chia seeds is easy for me
Flax
Que bueno que hicieron este video porque yo no sabia donde conseguir omega-3.
I guess I’ll be headed to the store to get some walnuts. And some D3 since I haven’t been outside in 10 days.
Walnuts
Flax seeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds and walnuts are my favorite.
no
Hey you again! Pumkin seeds and sunflower for me. Particularly sunflower seed butter, banana, maple syrup and nutritional yeast smoothies
@Yu Yu Fish. No hay DHA en plantas.
flaxseeds are crap research clearly indicates that the conversion of ALA to EPA and DHA is extremely limited. Less than 5% of ALA gets converted to EPA, and less than 0.5% (one-half of one percent) of ALA is converted to DHA A common misconception, especially amongst vegetarians and vegans, is that our need for EPA and DHA can be met by consuming flax oil and other plant sources of ALA. But the conversion numbers above clearly indicate that this isn’t the case no wonder so many vegans run in to omega 3 deficiencies
You will only find ALA in those & it's not easy for your body to convert them, EPA & DHA are much more healthier
Brussels. Hands down.
Vegan for life
🙌🙌🙌
Love for you ❤
Literally
Thank you for being one of the only videos to fully break down the difference and distinctions of epa, dha and ala. Very helpful. Keep up the good work.

Zinzino BalanceOil 100% Vegan no.1⭐
Now everyone can get into balance!🤗😍
Zinzino BalanceOil Vegan contains marine algae oil with omega-3 (EPA and DHA), high oleic sunflower oil (HOSO) and an echium seed oil rich in omega-3 (SDA and ALA), omega-6 (GLA) and omega-9 (OA). It also contains the extra virgin pre-harvest olive oil rich in omega-9 (OA) and with very high levels of polyphenols. It has a fair portion of the so important vitamin D from a 100% vegan source.
As a result, the vegan oil is offering you all the benefits of our regular BalanceOil made from fish oil. Zinzino BalanceOil Vegan is tested, protected, effective and safely adjusts and maintains EPA+DHA levels and the omega-6:3 balance in your body. Finally, everyone can get into balance!
A synergistic blend of marine micro-algae oil, echium seed oil, extra virgin preharvest olive oil, and vegan vitamin D. It safely adjusts and maintains EPA+DHA levels and the omega-6:3 balance in your body. The marine algae oil from Schizochytrium sp. contains omega-3 (EPA and DHA). The echium seed oil contains omega-3 (SDA and ALA), omega-6 (GLA) and omega-9 (OA). The extra virgin pre-harvest olive oil contains omega-9 (OA) and very high levels of polyphenols.
ALGAE OIL
The oil derived from the marine microalgae Schizochytrium is rich in the omega-3 fatty acids EPA + DHA. This is the first vegetarian EPA + DHA product available that provides a bio-alternative to traditional fish oils. Produced in an FDA-inspected and rigorously controlled facility, it is a highly concentrated and consistent product. The algae oil also contains small amounts of high oleic sunflower oil, rosemary extract for flavoring, ascorbyl palmitate (derived from GMO-free corn) and tocopherols (extracted from GMO-free plant oils), to ensure stability.
ECHIUM OIL
The cold-pressed echium seed oil is treated in a low-temperature cleansing process where it is refined, bleached, deodorized and winterized. Echium seed oil contains an ideal fatty acid profile, this in contrast with most vegetarian oils which contain excessive Omega-6?s. Echium seed oil contains the rare Omega-3 fatty acid SDA, which is converted five times better to EPA in the body than the typical plant Omega-3 ALA, i.e. in flaxseed. Echium seed oil also contains the valuable Omega-6 fatty acid GLA, beneficial for balancing hormones and skin health.
THE OLIVE OIL
BalanceOil contains a special cold-pressed, extra-virgin olive oil specially selected for its high content of polyphenols (above 350 mg/ kilo)5. Polyphenols are strong antioxidants with numerous beneficial effects. They protect BalanceOil in the bottle and, equally importantly, in your body.
VITAMIN D3
Our exclusive vegan vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) comes from a special, organically grown, plant source called lichen. It can accumulate large levels of useful nutrients, including vitamin D3. The vitamin D3 is extracted and then some coconut oil is added to it. The vitamin D3 is Vegan certified and of course GMO-free.
PROOF OF BALANCE IN 120 DAYS
Our certified laboratories have analyzed more than 380.000 tests (November 2019) making it the world's largest database. The average Omega-6:3 balance for people not taking an Omega-3 supplement was 12:1 for Europe, and 23:1 for the USA. After taking BalanceOil or BalanceShake for 120 days, the average balance is below 5:1 and in many cases below 3:1.

4:55 You are missing the fact that conversion rate from ALA to EPA is about 5%, so you can eat for example 5 grams of EPA or 100 grams of ALA and it will have the same effect.
You have old information. If your not eating animal fats the conversion rate is alot higher. The body will use the animal fats before it uses the ALA.
@@bonniedavis9076thanks for the info. Where should i learn these new informations?
All of the food that you have mentioned are part of my diet. My favorite snack are nuts and seaweed wraps. Thank you for your wonderful Chanel .
In order to get enough OMEGA 3 from NUTS and Seaweed wraps you would have to eat approximately 1 kg of them everyday.
It's actually %3-5 percent for people who have balanced omega 3 and omega 6 ratio. for people who have escalated levels of omega 6 (like plant based diet followers) that conversation rate (like that vegan doctor from PCRM says) drops to %1-2. This information is known by livekindly, neil barnard of pcrm. we have discussed this many times. They will not cite those sources, cause they have to cherry pick information to con people into this malnutrition diet. I wonder how those doctors working for the benefit of an organization that is not even a physician's committee but an animal rights organization (pcrm is not a medical organization, search for it, it's an animal rights organization supported by PETA)
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9637947
"More specifically, most studies in humans have shown that whereas a certain, though restricted, conversion of high doses of ALA to EPA occurs, conversion to DHA is severely restricted. The use of ALA labelled with radioisotopes suggested that with a background diet high in saturated fat conversion to long-chain metabolites is approximately 6% for EPA and 3.8% for DHA. With a diet rich in n-6 PUFA, conversion is reduced by 40 to 50%."
@@exshenanigan2333 So just consume algae? It's how fish get their EPA/DHA to begin with, but we can consume it without all the contaminants found in fish. But you're right, I also find this video misleading as hell.
@@stadtjer689 You don't get it, there is nothing in vegan propaganda that is not misleading. do you think livekindly does this misinformation for free? It just takes time to understand every single part of it is/was misleading. I have done it for 4 years, when I understood it was a little too late for a lot of things. So stop with the "eat the algae" stuff, I was importing algae from Japan, probably long before you heard the term veganism. I tried all, there are two options on veganism, you either quit early or you quit it late. You're free to choose, good luck with it!
@@stadtjer689 also please check what trophy levels are in biology, you''ll immediately understand why we can't digest the stuff in algae, just like we don't digest nutrients from grass. We use intermediary animals to make these digestible for us.
Some of this information is lacking in perspective. Your body does convert ALA into DHA and EPA but the conversion rate is so low you would need to eat sickening quantities of plant-based omega-3 sources to get your daily fill of EPA and DHA.
The conversion rate varies a lot from person to person. One factor, as was pointed out in this video, is the amount of omega 6 consumed. High amounts of omega 6 make it harder to get enough omega 3 as a vegan without using an algae supplement. If people are unsure , it's worth getting a blood test of DHA/EPA levels. One good way to reduce omega 6 is to cut out or reduce fried foods and processed food. If omega 6 food intake is managed then many people can get enough DHA and EPA from two tablespoons of freshly milled flax seeds, for example.
I like all of them and they all look pretty good.
I didn't know brussel sprouts also contain omega3 ...I love them
Excellent video. Comprehensive.
So glad we can get this in a vegan diet!
@@leandrocaara help, I come from an indigenous culture nowhere near the ocean! Being as the white man came along in the name of progress, manifest destiny, killing off all the Buffalo to plant his GMO corn where should I now get my bioavailable Omega 3s in this environment that I have found suitable for thousands of years (no thanks to whatever judeo white god that "designed" you)?
Excellent info, as always.
Awesome information 👍🏾 Thanks for sharing this 😊 It's good to know that I'm already eating the majority of these foods 🤗💜
Walnuts for sure!
Awesome video; be careful though spreading the idea that ALA sources like walnuts and other seeds and nuts are appropriate for meeting overall Omega3 requirements: ALA converts to DHA only at 5% rate, and DHA is the fatty acid from which brain cell membranes and white matter are made of; your video properly signals microalgae supplements as being higher in DHA, but infact they are the only viable plant based source of DHA (5% is 20:1 so you would have to eat 20 times your ALA daily requirements to get as much DHA in your system, and ALA and DHA requirements are even different).
Amen. As a vegan I'm pretty sure I've unnecessarily ran into EPA/DHA malnutrition because people are too afraid to mention the fact you stated to push that ALA is all you need. It's as easy as consuming algae.
If our body can only convert ala to so much DHA/EPA then do we even need as much DHA/EPA that we think?
@@nathancasey7712 Tricky question. Generally speaking it depends on what one intends with "need":
Both carnivores and vegans statistically have suboptimal plasma omega3 levels, because people dont consume a lot of fish overall. Both can function normally, but they wont enjoy the cardiovascular benefits of those with higher omega3 levels in the blood (for example, people with low omega3s have the same cardiovascular disease risk associated with regular tobacco consumption).
Conversion rates from ALA to DHA are also influenced by genetic and sex factors; for example, women convert at a higher rate than men. That being said, from what i've read, even accounting for these differences shouldnt be sufficient for reaching the same optimal levels of those that use supplementation or a targeted diet.
Omega3s are an important nutrient, with many key benefits, but in the end its up to the individual to judge wheter supplementing with them its worth it or not.
@@claudiomicheli3863 My understanding is the conversion rate is highly influenced by diet. People who consume a lot of processed food convert at a much lower rate because of the high omega 6 intake, which competes for the same enzymes. People on a whole food plant-based diet are more likely to manage without EPA/DHA supplements so long as they have a regular ALA source eg a couple of table spoons of freshly milled flax seeds each day.
@@charlesshaw7091 Interesting. Yet, even though i havent really dug deep into this facet of the topic, i remember that omega6s are not inherently bad and fulfill several important roles in immune function, inflammation, blood clotting, and constitution of cell membranes.
As far as i remember the optimal scenario is one where there is a balance between omega6 and omega3, not a huge disproportion of one over the other (1:1 as far as i remember).
Anyway this one is basically me paraphrasing authority figures without really understanding the underlying mechanism of these fatty acids in the cells, so i would take myself with a grain of salt 😁
THANK YOU! very helpful
Amazing information ❤❤ thank you very much 💐.
Thank you for this video, I learned a lot. My goal is to become pill free. This is a good start.

Thank you.
Sharing all your vids to all My contacts.
Love your video I subscribed. Nice calm presentation without all the drama :) especially now LOL
There will be a ton of people who eat animal flesh who will tell you that you need fish or flesh for proper omegas. This just isnt true. Walnuts alone can give you enough omega 3s! We convert the omega to give us the needed nourishment without killing any animals!!
@@deciasimms1797 Let's say you convert 10% of the ALA at best, and that's being optimistic (barely any DHA btw); You would get 40:1 omega 6 to omega 3. But what do I know; I'm just a flesh eating fool. It's better to listen to this random woman on this channel that doesn't care about you or your children's health, and just reads out a script. No need to investigate, verify, and think critically about a modern diet that no culture ever attempted.
Hemp seeds are so good in smoothies.
@Leslie Gibbons vegans: tries something vegan
*sooOoOoOOOOoOOoO Good. all information on this video is lies.

Avocados, chia seeds, and walnuts are my favorite. I’ll now be adding algae oil 😋
Love this, great info! Thanks!
😊than you. Im so happy.
WILD RICE. TOFU. SEAWEED.
I could literally eat these three everyday!
Am I the only Asian here? 👍🏽 if you are
I am not Asian but I would eat those things everyday myself, especially with wasabi and spices.
I like seaweed so much. I add it
in my soup, noodle and fried rice.
Is all Tofu created equal?? i want to start eating it, but i don't want to waste my money on junk.
@@loumason6120 Other than sprouted, firm, and extra firm, BBQ'd, sweetened, and spicy, what other tofu is there?
@@chiyerano Nevermind, i'll google it
It's chia and Brussels sprouts for me but recently I can't find Brussels sprouts in the stores. I love seaweed but haven't had luck with finding it in the stores. Also, tofu is great staple.
I'll eat flax seed and walnuts and hemp hearts (which I read have a higher omega 6 ratio) but I'm not crazy about the taste of these. Switching to a vegan diet has mostly been a walk in the park, except for getting more omega 3 in the diet. Sometimes I'll take an algal oil supplement or look to buy a non-dairy vegan drink that is supplemented with DHA.
The salad green purslane is also rich in ALA. Leafy greens in general contain it, too.
Flax seed and chia seed.
I take flaxseed oil capsules. Your lecture today was excellent
Why not algae oil? It so difficult for the body to convert ALA to DHA.
Interesting
FYI the body only converts about 1-3 (max of 10) percent of plant based ALA into the necessary epa and dha
So much great information in that, is it possible to get a transcription?
I already eat most of these on a daily basis and I love it. So happy it’s yummy and good for me too. I love being vegan. 🤗
And I like you
And you will live to be 100
Being plant base is just amazing would never eat animals every again
Dr Esselstein said "no oil". He said it quite loud once.
Mostly ground flax seeds for me, and various other plant sources, never from supplements.
"No oil" seems to be the consensus lately with plant-based health experts. Not entirely sure how well flax/avocado oil process in the body compared to their whole food forms, but it sounds like they'd be in the same league as other oils which complicate the ALA-DHA-EPA conversion process. Best to stick with the plant versions and avoid complications.
@@bfvcrank9306 True, it's for optimal health as well though. It's been known for some time that omega 6 found in oils can make it harder for omega 3s to do their job. Some say oil is okay in moderation, but it seems a safer bet to eat the whole fats in whole foods. To each his own, unless heart disease/diabetes, etc. is involved.
@@Hyper-Linkman "optimal health" 😂 nice youtube degree
@@Hyper-Linkman you stoopid
Observer
Yep, eliminating animal products as well as oil seems to be the best bet for becoming “heart attack proof”
don't forget to grind your flax and chia and keep cold. most of my omega 3's come at breakfast. bowl 1 some blueberries strawberries walnuts 1 cup rolled oats 2 dates 1 spoon of date syrup 2 spoons ground flax almond or soy milk. bowl 2 some raspberries blackberries 1 spoon hemp hearts 3 almond 1 brazil nut. bowl 3 quinoa. bowl 4 lentil clover alfalfa radish broccoli kale sprouts . Combine with bowl 3 with a 1/4 teaspoon tumeric and a pinch of black pepper. I love breakfast!!!
I like english walnuts because they are free and easily accessible where I live.
Free??? Where????

Better input here..Dr Breg..input was to old. ..google knows this too
What I understand is that our bodies can convert alpha-linoleic acid (ALA) from plant sources into EPA and DHA, whenever there is a maximum ratio of 4:1 (Omega 6 To Omega3) the important thing is to keep Omega 6 low, Otherwise, if you have ratios of say 10:1, 30:1, it is best to take quality Omega 3 supplements or consume Wild fish (All types of fish contain some amount of mercury) or Farm Fish ("may contain high levels of hormones, antibiotics, PCBs, and mercury. These are endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs)-, like estrogen and progesterone").
If OMEGA 6 is limited, THE BODY WILL PRODUCE ENOUGH OMEGA 3.
I am Raw Foodish for more than 15 years, I plan to take the test
"Omega 3 index plus from omega quant" with B12 & D3 I'm fine according to the tests. If you know of another test, please suggest it.
Canola oil too.. and algae based supplements
my fav are flexseeds chia walnuts aslo kidney beans
no
Flexseeds
walnuts, ground linseed and hemp
I mix 3 tablespoons of whole flax seeds in my morning fruit oatmeal bowls.
DorianMindru Flax seeds need to be ground up or cooked to release the nutrients from the outer shell, otherwise they will just pass through totally intact!
@@Kiyarose3999 Oh wow I had no idea. I will have to throw the rest of them in the magic bullet and later on buy ground up flax. Thanks for letting me know
DorianMindru Yeh I only found out in last year even though I’ve been Vegan for 35 years, I new Flax seeds are too small to chew but assumed they would be digested in the gut. I suppose the plant they come from ‘wants’ animals to spread their seed while munching on the plant, so made the seeds shell indigestible. 🌎✊🏽🌻w
@@Kiyarose3999 ah yes that makes sense!
@@dor1994 please consider grinding flaxseed...flax meal is rancid after a very short time
Walnuts, chia seeds, flax seeds, pumpkin and sunflower seeds.
Flaxseed, Hemp, Chia seeds, and Blue-Green Algae, just to name a few 🙂
My cats are eating Halo brand cat food with flax seeds and their fur is so fluffy and soft! They feel silky and fluffy like stuffed animals, lol!
Thank you for the informative video! I love how you put the required amount each day, and how much ALA in every serving of different food. Some other videos just tell us the food high in ________ without telling us how much we need everyday and how can we hit the required amount heh. I hope you can do more of videos on nutritions! :)
Question: can the body easily convert ALA to EPA and DHA? Or is there any other nutrients/vitamins we need that help in the process? :)
@k L Do you have any sources for that? Journals/studies are preferred. Cause I've heard both sides of stories too. And why fish but not algae oil/seaweed?
You are incorrect. Im a certified nutritionist. Omega 3s are destroyed immediately by the light, high temperature and air. Fish are unhealthy and very pro-inflammatory.
You need to be qualified to interprete scientific research. Do not eat animal products.
The conversion percentage is reported from 0.3 to around 5.
ALA is not enough, either eat fish or supplement.
@@youlearn3493and that's proof that you didn't read the proper reports...
All great info, thanks for sharing. But what data exists on the conversion rates of ALA to DHA and EPA? Or how a compromised immune or gut function plays into that

@@exshenanigan2333 So just consume algae? It's how fish get their EPA/DHA to begin with. We can consume it without all the contaminants in fish. So, if you're trying to make an argument against veganism being unhealthy, try better next time, because the vegan option is literally the healthiest option. Unless of course you like pollutants like heavy metals, hormones, antibiotics and microplastics.
@@stadtjer689 why don't you eat grass to take your B12 if micronutrient absorption is as simple as you believe it to be?
Why isn't anyone talking more about algae. Fish get it from them.
But if i'm not mistaken ... avocado and walmart high in omega 6 too which in the beginning of video, that dr mention our body can synthesis our own stuff if dont consume high omega-6.
Flax oil vs. Chia oil vs. Hemp oil vs. Algae oil?
Which is better and how do they rank?
This is a challenge in Ghana. I'm desperately looking for a cheap easily accessible local source of omega 3. It's really tricky.
What's the conversion rate of ALA to EPA and DHA?
I'm not sure if it would need to be researched, but I'm curious about omega 3 on a vegan diet. I take E3 Algae supplement. Is that good enough (it's a green liquid with various nutrients in it), or should we take algae oil pills?
Pumpkin seeds also have the same amount of ALA as wallnuts.
Not too much omega 6! Yay Dr Milton Mills! I was right! 🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾💯❤️
Very worthwhile information, thank you.
The Good catch plant based tuna has an abominable taste. I had to have it with my nose pinched to avoid the aftertaste. I have no clue what they put it but it was inedible. I'm not fussy with food but this one surprised me. That being said I'm sure it would be to somebody's taste.
When you say epa I think of the Simpsons movie 😂
What about chlorella?
Flax seed powder as thickener in my soup.
Seaweed is very tasty.
Chia seeds, hemp seeds and avocado :p
I do enjoy an avocado oil plant butter along with some tofu.
chiyerano that sounds delicious, do u buy the Avo oil butter or make it yourself? Cos I’ve never even heard of it!.
@@Kiyarose3999 It's one of Country Crock's plant butters. I buy it in 4 sticks wrapped in paper. I would buy it in tub form if it weren't for all the plastic packaging it would come in. They have one made with olive oil too.
@@Kiyarose3999 I just wanted to try it out and am looking for other avocado oil butters on the market to try that hopefully don't have as much of certain other oils in it and then maybe I will eventually come to make my own.
@Leslie Gibbons I do that also. What is the problem?
@Leslie Gibbons I suppose you don't ever eat anything that has at least been minimally processed? Unless you are eating absolutely nothing but whole foods without any processing you are not really fit to judge me or anyone else for that matter. Please save the judgement and criticism for your own diet. Thank you.
What's your research showing that plant ALA is converted into sufficient DHA/EPA?
Chia seeds with some fruits every day
I take flaxseed oil and DHA/EPA supplements. I am not sure if I need the extra DHA/EPA supplement. Does anyone have any advice on DHA and EPA?
Walnuts, ground chia seeds, ground flaxseed, kidney beans, tofu, sesame seeds, spirulina, chlorella
I am shocked. Out of all the foods LiveKindly left out the healthiest ones. You came close with Avocado oil, but would why would you recommend processed food? It does not even have the best Omega 3 to 6 ratio. I would choose Honeydew melon, bananas, cantelope, blueberries, papaya, and Mango to name a few.
Hi Ryan, I’m putting together a simple workshop for rural people in Asia. I’m researching plant-based ALA sources. These honeydew, papaya, and mango are common here. Can you help me with a source that they are good sources of ALA? Thank you for your time!
Why isn't perilla seeds being talked about? It's THE best source of ALA. And it tastes way better than flax seeds or chia seeds.
If that's the truth, then they obviously just don't know about it. Honestly, I've never heard of perilla until I read your comment. That's also like the video here it does not even mentioned purslane and it has insane amounts of omega's.
The conversion rate of ala to epa and dha depends mainly on genetics 😃👍🏼
what about marine phytoplankton?
“The result is real fish but it was never alive” ok I’ll say bye now
Yes, just as you can have cloned apple cells that were never really a whole apple. Same thing.
The idea seems to be that you don't eat only 1 source of healthy fats. It's a combination that you have to consume regularly, even more food than non-vegans, so that you get all the nutrition you need. Your body only absorbs a certain amount eat time you eat, so you have to eat more and eat a wide variety
Too many people and too few resources.
Endless population growth is not sustainable on a finite planet.
We are stripping our oceans of fish. We are destroying the remaining forests. This will not end well.
We all need to learn to live more sustainably.
Very true 😪
We have enough resources, we just waste too much and damage the rest. Especially first world countries. Instead of protecting habitats and putting natural nutrient sources back into the resources we get food from, so they can continue to flourish, we destroy lands, damage our resources, and stockpile land fills with waste, creating harmful gases and soaking dangerous chemicals into the grounds and waters that feed those resources. Mass food production has become one of the most harmful industries in the world. And only for convenience. These things have a naturally occuring cycle. God gave us everything we needed and we are squandering it
@@jaym3658 Go Vegan. It is better for the environment.
@@KJSvitko temporarily definitely or at least a healthy ratio of vegans to nons. Personally, i'm transitioning to vegan for health reasons. After years, the processed food made me severely sick, specifically meet, dairy, and gmo's
Nice platitudes from the media.
1) Population growth has been slowing down and is projected to stabilize around 12 billion. Look up "population marbles professor"
2) Majority of overfishing is related to economic practices not human consumption.
3) the body can only convert 5% of ala into epa. You have to eat 20x that amount to get comparable to fish so not quite efficient or as healthy then.

I don't know why but I find the idea of eating fake meat and fish really strange. Why not just eat vegetables and bread.
Plant food is not as bio-available. ALA conversion rate is about ten percent or less depending on who is ingesting it. I have to do more research about algae.
It's like 5% for EPA and 1% for DHA.
In tuna salad I put hemp powder, chia seeds & mayo in the mixture. 🤓
Getting in ALA is pretty pointless. Since only 5-6% is converted. Yet people still blindly endorse it.
I was under the impression that canola oil is very bad for you and in fact all highly processed seed oils should be avoided.
Hi, i have a Gerd acid reflux, it is safe for to take Omega 3 supplement ?
Nuts+ flax
I will increase my flax to 1 teaspoon on my oats, fish with Brussel sprouts at dinner and chlorella 3 times per day

Unfortunately, the body is not very good at turning ALA into DHA and EPA. Human bodies have never been very good at this. Your best bet for a good supply of DHA/EPA is fatty fish. If you're too uninformed to follow the science, then that's your business.
All mentioned seeds and nuts, must be eaten raw to benefit from them! Btw, walnut are more omega 6 than omega 3 ratio.
Sacha inchi seeds have more omega 3 than omega 6.
I have heard that some people have problems extracting ALA to EPA and DHA which we need
Is that true?
Yes it's true. We get too much omega 6 in our diet.
Thanks, interesting. Do seaweed have Vitamin B12?
Yes they do, except it's much more bioavailable when it is eaten fresh and never dried. The bioavailability decreases by a lot once it is dried.
Brian Clement says the so called healthier choice, fish, is just swimming meat, and calls fish oil, cancer in a bottle.
Eat sardines 👌
Great content, but you didn't mention that the conversion from ALA to EPA/DHA occurs poorly in the body, around 5%. Also the best sources of ALA, Flaxseed and Chia seeds are very estrogenic and probably not suitable for everyone.
They didn't mention that because they are cherry picking information to support their agenda

Isn't algae just as bad as fish regarding contaminants as it comes from the sea so will possibly have all the contaminants that fish are possibly said to have?

I get at least 25 to 30 grams of chia and 15 grams of hemp every morning from my nuts optional gluten free pancake recipe I developed. It has a variety of high quality proteins, calcium, fiber, and is low carb without any oil or sugar. I usually take the opportunity to fill up on fruit along side my pancakes.
Kenneth Hohenthane Low Carbs, but Carbs are good for us!.
You mentioned canola oil and I really don't think canola oil is healthy because there is no canola plant it would be nice if you did a video on canola oil
Is the algae from the oceans which being polluted, isn’t safe? If one makes a substitute, it needs to be a safe one.
While what you're saying is completely valid and attention should be drawn to this, where do you think your fish oils come from? They come from eating the algae/sea plants that you are concerned about.
Hey there! There is a way to avoid the ocean pollution altogether - lab-grown algae! Quality algal oil omega-3 supplements are manufactured from lab-grown algae, and they're 100% free of contaminants. Make sure to go with a cGMP certified and tested brand for highest quality.
