How does Flax Oil compare to Fish Oil

Q: I take flax oil from natures way with 7.5grams of Omega-3 as Alpha-Linolenic acid; Lignan rich flax providing 15 mg  Lignans; Omega 9 fatty acids 2.2 g as Oleic acid, Omega 6 fatty acids as Linoleic acids2.0g  and thats one serving an dI try to get to 3 servings perday…Hows that compare with fish oil  recommendations?

A: Adding flaxseed oil to your diet is a great idea as Alpha-Linolenic Acid has some great health booster properties. But even those flaxseed oil and fish oil both contain omega-3 fatty acids they are very different and they act differently in the body. So you can’t really compare them – you need them both!

I’ve written about the differences between Fish Oil and flaxseed oil (click here for the other post)before so make sure to check those out as they go into detail about how they are both different (and important).
