No mention of Hemp, hello, perfect ballence of 3:1 Omega 3 and 6. Did ya even know that, oh yeah it is also the most abundant as hemp grows so fast. Worthy of a mention, Mabey?

I am a little slow at getting back to this, but hemp falls into the category of omega-3 fatty acids coming from plants (alpha-linolenic acid) , not fish oil (eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acid). Relative to fish oil, there are relatively few studies of plant omega-3 fatty acids.

The Oil of Sacha Inchi Of all known the natural World-wide sources OF OMEGA 3, the vegetal oil of Sacha Inchi has the greater content of Omega 3. the Sacha Inchi is richest in Omega 3: THEY CONTAIN UP TO 48.60% of Omega 3 and it has the lowest saturated fatty acid content, 6.39% in average, 3.85% of palmítico and 2.54% of esteárico.

Plant derived omega-3 fatty acids are very different from the "longer-chain" omega-3 fatty acids found in fish or algae. Although they clearly have a role in nutrition, their role in supporting brain function is not agreed upon. Very little plant omega-3 fatty acids are converted in-vivo into the longer-chain version and they are found in the brain. With regards to the latter, this is in stark contract to docosahexaenoic acid which compromises greater than 10% of brain fatty acids.

I've been eating pumpkin/linseed/sunflower/hemp seeds feel better for it.

I'm a vegetarian so fish is out.

After 7 years of depression I am today completely cured after buying a can of high concentrated Omega-3 pills for 20 bucks.

this fish omega-3 fatty acids make my depresion get worse....

I stop using it and i get better

[NaughtyNeytiri]

good topic for debate i see. i like the pill comment (good to know) hate taking pills anyway can never keep taking on a constant basis. if i get omega3 its usually from raw salmon...although dont always have option of salmon being available daily. i do try to eat organic and make food instead of eating out...i also sit my fat ass on the computer.

First of all fish oil supplements are a processed food !and they become Rancid on the process . all fish is contaminated with MERCURY and PCB ...want to be healthy grow your own food and dont eat process foods my great grandmother died when she was 105 and she didnot take fish oil and no vitamin pills !! people are lazy to cook so they eat garbage ! and sit on the computure and on the cell phone getting emf radiation . and wonder why they have cancer or high blood pressure !

What that Omega mean?

[AkinaInc]

If you want a more vegetarian option to get your Omega 3's try flaxseed! But you don't want the flaxseed oil, you want the actual flaxseed because it has fiber and cancer fighting lignans that both flaxseed and fish oil LEAVE OUT! Because you have to have the flax seed grinded up

Glad you rolled on the floor laughing at such a comment.

I'm not sure what a boon is.

Maybe you should stay off the chemicals.

Omega 3 fatty acids for the win for the brain, there are other foods out there that are good for brain health, but omega 3 works and heals the entire body...it's amazing and I feel so much better after taking them everyday.
