Desalination/distillation is one of mankind's earliest forms of water treatment, and it is still a popular treatment solution throughout the world today. In ancient times, many civilizations used this process on their ships to convert sea water into drinking water.
Fish oil is the richest source for eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Cold-water fish, like anchovies, salmon and sardines, are considered the best source for these essential fatty acids. It is important to remember, that all omega-3's are not created equal. You would need almost four tablespoons of flaxseed oil to get the same amount of EPA and DHA found in one teaspoon of Life's Abundance Fish Oil! That's approximately ten times as much flaxseed oil than fish oil.
The differences between fish oil and flax oil are as follows. Fish oil contains EPA and DHA. Our Norwegian Fish Oil capsules contain 360 mg of EPA and 240 mg of SHA per 2 capsule serving. Flax Oil contains Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acid, which the body converts to EPA and DHA. Our Spectrum Essentials Organic Flax Oil contains 8 grams of omega-3 essential fatty acid per 1 Tablespoon serving. Because the fish oil has preformed DHA and EPA, it is good for immediate brain and nerve support.
