Re: non fish omega 3's- Monika?

[Guest guest]

Well technically these are precursors in the form of ALA.

Algal sources like " Pure One " are vegetarian DHA and EPA.

I hope this helps.

And yes, the conversion from ALA to DHA is poor.

I learned all this from Monika Woolsey from her neuroendo talks. Maybe

she will see this and have time to kibbutz or correct my offering

Subject: non fish omega 3's

Any suggestion for a patient with fish allergies who needs an omega 3?

Flax

loses 90% in the cascade so insufficiently effective. Thanks,
