So I did some reading online and came to the conclusion ( right or wrong ) that since Oils are extracted from seeds and can lose some nutrient value, omega value in that process, I will stick with seeds. Not sure if its a correct theory.
I read that Chia seeds are better than Flax seed ( I will try and post some links ).
I am not sure if that is right or wrong , but since the store had both , I read the nutrient value and like the Chia seeds from CHIALIFE.
Very convenient and lots of Omega-3 ALA. 2.4 grams per tablespoon and only 0.7 grams Omega 6. The lesser the Omega-6 the better as most reserachers say that we get a lot of Omega-6 from our regular diet.
So the perfect thing would be something with just Omega-3 but since nothing Veggie/Vegan had that , I had to go with the CHIA seeds.
The seeds themselves are pretty tasteless, so one can mix them with anything or eat right out of the bag.
So I have to say I like this product though I wish it had more Omega-3 ALA per serving .
