Udos Choice is vegan, good combination of omega 3, 6 + 9, if fish is not an option.

fish oil is a strong anti-inflammatory. inflammation is indicated as the starting cause of heart disease and many cancers. control inflammation and greatly reduce your risk of both.

also manages cholesterol levels in a normal range - and is great for the hair and skin.

modulates mood also - but be careful because you can go into a funk if/when you run out and don't have any on hand.

plant omega 3s require an additional metabolizing step in the body that makes them far less bioavailable. they also go rancid almost immediately upon extraction so are a major source of oxidation in the body.

flax seed oil has been implicated in prostate issues and prostate cancer - i'd recommend no male take flax oil as a source of omega 3 - and take a molecular distilled fish oil, krill oil, or cod liver oil.

I have Multiple sclerosis... I don't want to eat a lot of fat, or fish, so I take the fish oil. It is good for the myelin sheath. alex is right about plant sources of omega 3's. They just don't work as well as fish oil... they have to be converted over several times to be usable to the body, and by the time it goes through all that, it doesn't get to where it is needed most efficiently
