What is the difference between the Omega 3 fatty acids found in flax seed oil and fish oil?

Omega 3 from a vegetable source, like flaxseeds, has Alpha Linolenic Acid, ALA, which is a precursor of EPA and DHA, the ultimate acids our body use. In order to do that, the body employs enzymes to convert ALA to EPA and DHA. Some people lack these enzymes and do not make the conversion.

Besides, even normal people only get about 10% rate of conversion from ALA to EPA and DHA. In other words, even if you make the conversion from ALA it may be difficult to get proper dosage of EPA and DHA to get most of the benefits of omega 3.

The most efficient way to get your omega3 fatty acids is to take it form an animal source. You can do that buying fish oil, cod liver oil or Krill oil
