vegetarian sources of Omega 3 fatty acids?
I'm a vegetarian, and I suffer from depression. I have read from numerous sources that Omega-3 fatty acids are particularly useful in the treatment of depression, but the main source of Omega-3 seems to be fish. I'm not willing to "bend the rules." Is there vegetarian sources of Omega-3 fatty acids?
Soy products and flaxseed and linseed oil fatty acid batteries contain omega 3 and there are some in nuts, but unfortunately these are all of ALA is metabolized only about 5 to 10% or becomes the beneficial DHA. the oil contains DHA and EPA in the DHA / EPA in mixing ratios of 60% of EPA and DHA 40%. St John's Wort fish is supposed to be good for anxiety and depression.
