All O3 comes from algae, fish merely accumulate. One could also get algae based supplement. It's animal friendly and possibly less contaminated (fish are much polluted nowadays).

I read there:
"""The fish used as sources do not actually produce omega-3 fatty acids, but instead accumulate them by consuming either microalgae or prey fish that have accumulated omega-3 fatty acids."""
- raverbashing 8y agoThanks for the info, it's interesting that Algae produce (fish) Omega-3, whereas land-based plants produce only ALA and not EPA/DHA
- cies 8y agoAnd your brain consists of a lot of DHA. ALA->EPA->DHA conversion is minimal, and depends on many factors (which are basically showing that we need to be healthy).
