I’ve heard very good things about high-EPA/decent DHA fish oil thats molecularly-distilled.

This seems to be a frequent recommendation (particularly if you don’t eat seafood or fish) in many health circles and I’d like to get everyone’s thoughts on best products, practices, etc.

        From the 2nd link above:

        “Vegetarians (who don’t eat fish) and vegans (who avoid all animal-based foods) can meet their omega-3 requirements by eating plenty of ALA-rich foods, such as flaxseed, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and soybean or canola oil. People who follow these plant-focused diets have lower rates of heart disease than omnivores, who include animal-sourced foods in their diets.”

          Is it a fact that ALA is interchangeable with EPA/DHA, basically everything I’ve read on the matter talked more about those two than ALA

          • Dont those only contain ALA?
          • Is ALA sufficient over all three or more particularly those 2?
          • Does fish contain ALA?
