That's a huge benefit however, there are few other sources of Omega-3s in our daily diet.



It's 30mg/100g. That's an order of magnitude lower than most fish, two orders of magnitude less than the best fish, and about what you'd get from a turkey sandwich.

Which is unsurprising, because mammals suck at making omega-3s, and plants are a bad source of healthful omega-3s.

Let's not get too excited.


Skip organic, save your money, eat purified mercury free fish oil softgels? I have 3-5 1200mg pills of it a day.


You're probably better off getting the theraputic grade stuff... my dad with Parkinsons has this drop shipped: https://omega-cure.com/

If you have a freezer, you store a 2 month supply for less than 2 months of softgels.


I looked at the pricing, it costs $34 for the '2 month supply'. 100 Softgels are $5 each and last a month, so I can get at least 6 months for the same price as your boutique 2 month version.


But I bet it has less mercury than fish, especially big fish.
