I was going to pick up some chia seed oil capsules to see if they helped improve my lipid panels but got drawn into a research rabbit-hole and am now a bit lost. Is it useless to take Omega-3s that don’t have both DHA and EPA? Anyone feel like they have a good grasp on this?

Whoaa, who'd have guessed! The whole topic of fish/algae oils in general seems not to have any real sure facts yet. Either way, probably can't go wrong by eating them anyway, hopefully?

EDIT: "eating them" aka the algaes, I mean, lol. This is a vegan comm afterall!
