Studies have found that Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce inflammation, decrease blood triglycerides, and even reduce the risk of dementia.

Of the three main types of omega-3 fatty acids, plant foods typically contain only alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).

ALA is not as active in the body and must be converted to two other forms of omega-3 fatty acids — eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Algal oil, a type of oil derived from algae, stands out as one of the few vegan sources of both EPA and DHA.

Algal oil supplements typically provide 400–500 mg of combined DHA and EPA. Generally, it is recommended to get 300–900 mg of combined DHA and EPA per day.

Is Algae vegan? Seaweed is not a plant, it's actually a protist, which are also known as algae. Algae are neither plants nor animals or fungi, bacteria, or archaeans. Instead, they belong to a group of life called protists. There are about 27,000 different species, or types, of algae. They are most common in water, such as oceans, rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, and marshes. The source of Omega-3 in salmon is algae. Japan, China, and Korea are known to eat algae, Nori sheets are found in the regular franchise convenience stores, and you work out the way you like to use it, eat it plain drop it in some instant noodles, whatever.

Sources of ALA are...

Chia seeds
Brussels sprouts
