Posted on 19.08.2019There are several different omega-3 fatty acids, among them alpha-linolenic acid, short ALA. Flaxseed oil is very rich in ALA (50 g per 100 g). Only 2 teaspoons (at 3 g each) cover the daily requirement of 2 g ALA of an adult.
DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) from Marine Micro-Algae
Posted on 16.08.2019Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a plant-based substitute for fish, seafood or fish oil capsules. Especially vegetarians, vegans and other people who only eat little fish need alternative DHA sources. Even though our body is able to produce small amounts of DHA from alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), it may not cover the daily requirements of DHA. The fatty acid ALA can be found in chia oil (63 g per 100 g), flaxseed oil (50 g per 100 g) or camelina oil (42 g per 100 g).
