Ground flaxseed provides alpha-linolenic acid or ALA, a building block for omega-3 fatty acids. Your child's body converts ALA to omega-3 fatty acids. Each tablespoon of ground flaxseed contains about 1.8 grams of plant omega-3. However, flaxseed would have to be consumed in much greater amounts to reach the levels of omega-3 provided by fish oil.
The nutritional value of flaxseed oil (and fish oil) comes from its omega-3 fatty acids that are needed for optimum health. Flaxseed oil contains high levels of an omega-3 called alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). If you are a vegetarian, ground flax seeds or flaxseed oil will likely be your preferred choice. 2  Ground flax seeds are more economical than either fish oil or flaxseed oil supplements. 3  The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classifies omega-3 fatty acids from fish as GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe).
