Just use an algae-based omega-3 supplement. Eating algae is how fish build up omega-3 levels in their bodies anyway.
replyThis is the only Omega-3 thing I felt actually made a difference back when I was vegan. All of the ALA-based supplements I tried were useless.
replyHow did you measure it? Blood panels?
replyJust get an omega 3 supplement that has a good amount of DHA and EPA. There’s not as much evidence to support it as there is to support eating fish, but that’s more due to a dearth of research on the subject than because the evidence suggests it has no effect.
replyUnfortunately it tends to be more expensive. I have recs if you’re in the UK but not much use otherwise!
Should be, that's where the fish get it from.
replyNot sure where you are located, but here in the UK supermarkets (eg Tesco) sell vegan omega 3/6/9 capsules.
replySeaweed :)
