Fish Oil vs, Flax Seed Oil.?
I take Flax Seed Oil capsules daily to help with my Dry Eye Syndrome. I am 60. I have been told that Fish Oil capsules will help to offset Alzheimer’s. Will One Oil Suffice for Both Issues?
Unless you are a vegan, fish oil is preferred.
This is because fish oil contains both omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
Flaxseed oil, on the other hand is high in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which needs to be converted by the body into EPA and DHA. It is still unclear whether the body can convert enough ALA to DHA and EPA to receive the maximum healthy benefits of these two long chain omega 3s.
So it’s best to take fish oil if you had to chose one.
Recommended dosage would be 2-3 grams per day (2000-3000 milligrams total.)
Best of luck!
