Fish Oil Fast Fact #182: Giving Flax Seed Some Serious Flack
Flax seed has recently been heralded as an acceptable – and even preferable – substitute for fish and fish oil when it comes to getting your daily dose of omega 3. While at first this may seem like great news for vegetarians and vegans, it definitely needs a little bit more scrutiny before you toss out your fish oil in favor of flax oil. While flax definitely has high concentrations of omega 3, it is not certain that the form of omega 3 fatty acids found in flax seeds can even be processed by your body. Omega 3 is an essential nutrient, which means that while the human body needs it to function, the body cannot process or synthesize the nutrient in any way. As a result, if processing is necessary on any level for the omega 3s found in flax seed oil, then your body really is not getting much good out of these “friendly” omega 3s at all. You might as well just not take a supplement in the first place. So before you chunk your salmon oil pills, think hard about what you are replacing them with. It just might be literally nothing.
