Can you get all of the essential Omega-3 fatty acids on a plant-based diet? Omega-3s are important for your physical and mental health, and there are three types that our bodies need – ALA, EPA and DHA. According to the National Institutes of Health, adult males require 1.6 g of ALA each day, and females require 1.1g each day.

According to Dr. Mills and Dr. Radak, our bodies can convert alpha-linoleic acid (ALA) from plant sources into EPA and DHA, though how well your body converts them varies from person to person. You can also obtain a good dose of EPA and DHA directly from algae oil and seaweed products. The reason why fish are high in omega-3s is that they consume microalgae and seaweed.

Plant sources of ALA include walnuts, chia seeds, flax seeds, Brussels sprouts, avocado oil, tofu, and kidney beans. Many plant-based beverages are also fortified with omega-3s, so be sure to check the label.

What are your favorite plant-based omega-3 sources?

Jagjeet Sihra says:

Okay….what's with the lecture about not fishing??? The video is supposed to be about vegan sources of omega 3 fats.

Pappy says:

As a plant based vegan I didn't know I was consuming enough omega 3. Is it possible to consume too much?

Matej Mikloš - Vegan For Life says:

❤❤❤❤

jtuno122 says:

My cats are eating Halo brand cat food with flax seeds and their fur is so fluffy and soft! They feel silky and fluffy like stuffed animals, lol!

onagi sana says:

I understand contaminants, but Plant based omega 3s are synthesized inefficiently by mammals including us. 3% so I've seen. And high plant linolenic acid intake are connected to complications according to studies as well. There's Phytic acids and other plant defense u don't always want in ur diet. So I won't completely trust chia and other utopia type of supplementing often in these type of vids! Especially when they list/ rank it pff..do ur own research.

Ashutosh K says:

Why isn't anyone talking more about algae. Fish get it from them.

ramban321 says:

I will increase my flax to 1 teaspoon on my oats, fish with Brussel sprouts at dinner and chlorella 3 times per day

Spencer Kim Llido says:

Uh Oh! Fake News!

Reported

sean miller says:

Do not be fooled!! Your body can only convert 4% of ALA into DHA! DHA being the one that actually provides the vast majority of benefits that come with omega-3s. You must be having algae oil or algae based supplements If you're vegan. No amount of flax or hemp seeds will be sufficient!

Ishita Roy says:

I have purchasing Go Nutrition Super Vitamin D3
From Bodyfuelindia.com. The product is 100% authentic and the response is also pretty good unlike other websites,,,

Sharon Brown says:

ALL THE ABOUT!!!!! VEGAN FOR LIKE!!!!! 🙏🏼☮️☀️😊🙏🏼

Sham Hosein says:

Getting in ALA is pretty pointless. Since only 5-6% is converted. Yet people still blindly endorse it.
