One of the most important health discoveries over the last few decades is that most of us are deficient in what is known as the Omega 3 essential fatty acids. There are a number of these Omega 3 fats, primarily ALA DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), though there are others.

Of these 3 it is generally considered that DHA is the most important of the omega 3 essential fats. DHA comprises a large proportion of our brain and is very important to good health, as is EPA.

But over the past century there have been dramatic changes in our diet. We are eating much less seafood and seafood is the primary source of DHA and EPA. As a result most of us now lack of levels of both these nutrients which are now called the omega 3 essential fatty acids, and if we increase our intake we are increasing our protection against various health problems.

But what is ALA omega 3 fatty acid, and where does it come from? ALA Omega 3 is a plant-based form of essential fatty acid. It is not found in seafood and anyone taking fish oil supplements will not be getting ALA in their diet from that source.

Many people who are vegetarian are taking vegetarian Omega 3 supplements, particularly flax seed oil capsules, because these contain plant-based nutrients. As a result they are getting ALA omega 3 fats. But are these people getting sufficient Omega3 essential fatty acids?

The answer to that question is no. Whilst it is true that ALA can be converted into DHA and EPA in the body the conversion rate is very low. And the less healthy amongst us convert it more poorly. Unfortunately DHA and EPA are the most important essential fatty acids.

So if you are taking vegetarian Omega 3  capsules you are getting some benefits, but not as much by far as you would from taking fish oil capsules.

So if this is the case why are people taking flax seed oil supplements containing ALA? It’s because, as vegetarians, they are reluctant to take any form of nutrients coming from a fish-based source, so are unable to take fish oil capsules.

But many people taking flax seed oil supplements are unaware that taking the supplements does not provide them with sufficient Omega3 essential fatty acids and does little to increase their store of DHA and EPA.

The bottom line is that virtually all of us are deficient in the fish-based Omega 3 fats DHA and EPA. These are what are important to our health and taking an ALA Omega 3 supplement such as a flax seed oil supplement does not address this problem.

One of the most important health discoveries over the last few decades is that most of us are deficient in what is known as the Omega 3 essential fatty acids. There are a number of these Omega 3 fats, primarily ALA (alpha linolenic acid), DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), though there are others.

Generally DHA is the most important of the Omega 3 fatty acids, although EPA is also very important. DHA makes up a large proportion of our brain.

There has been a significant decline over the last hundred years in our intake of seafood and in particular fish. As these are the most important sources of DHA and EPA our intake of these 2 essential omega 3 fats has declined thereby opening us up to to an increased risk of contracting various health problems.

ALA on the other hand is found only in plant-based foods and is not found in seafoods, therefore even eating more seafood does not increase our intake of ALA.

But vegetarians do not take omega 3 supplements contain DHA and EPA as these come from fish, and so in most cases are taking Omega 3 supplements that come from such sources as flax seed oil. Therefore they are getting ALA only. Are they getting sufficient Omega3 fats?

The answer is no because DHA and EPA are much more important to your health than ALA. The benefit of ALA is that the body can convert it into DHA and EPA but it is converted at a very poor rate, and the less healthy amongst us convert it less successfully.

So if it isn’t sufficient to take vegetarian Omega 3 supplements why do people take them? Because as vegetarians they cannot take traditional Omega 3 supplements sourced from seafood. And many people taking vegetarian Omega 3 supplements are unaware that they are not providing sufficient levels of the important Omega 3 fats.

Unfortunately almost all of us have low levels of DHA and EPA, the 2 most important of the Omega 3 fats, and taking vegetarian Omega 3 supplements does not address this. To find out more about improving your levels of DHA and EPA visit my Omega 3 website.
