This is nonsense. I’ve been a vegan for years and do not supplement DHA or EPA. My body converts everything from ALA. My blood levels are great.
There is no such thing as clinical DHA defiency established in the literature. What regulates ALA metabolism is poorly understood, but it seems when you don’t get DHA and EPA your body does fine, as evidenced by every vegan alive.
Also there isn’t much DHA or EPA in a diet that includes fish. You can’t get the 1.5g a day that’s recommended by eating fish or eggs in your diet. Yet humans were doing just fine before fish oil supplements.
