Did you know that not all omega-3s are the same?
EPA and DHA omega-3s are long-chain fatty acids that are important for brain, heart, eye and prenatal health. You can find them naturally in fatty fish like salmon and sardines, or in omega-3 supplements. (Algal oil supplements are the only vegan EPA+DHA omega-3 source).
ALA omega-3s are found in walnuts, chia, flax and other seeds and oils. Most people get plenty of the shorter-chain and less potent ALA omega-3s but fall far short on their EPA/DHA omega-3 needs. Be choosy about your omega-3 sources and be sure to get EPA+DHA!

Taking an omega-3 supplement is a surefire way to make sure youâre meeting your daily needs.
