    Hi, Juls5drivertraining. Other than algae-based supplements, you can get omega-3 from the following foods:
    – seaweed
    – omega-3 fortified eggs
    – omega-3 fortified milk
    – chia seeds
    – flax seeds
    – walnuts
    – hemp hearts (seeds)
    – mustard seeds and oil
    – canola (low-erucic rapeseed) oil, please – organic only
    – winter squash
    – leafy greens such as kale, broccoli
    – mango
    – honeydew melon
    – cantaloupe
    Nearly all of the above – except for algae, eggs, and diary milk, which feature DHA and EPA – feature primarily alpha-linolenic acid, which is an omega-3 but a precursor to the DHA and EPA that get all the credit. The body’s ability to make the conversion depends on several factors, including overall diet: if you don’t overdo omega-6 fats, you have a better chance.
