Vegan ways to get Omega3 properly?

[Value]

I don't take Omega 3 tablets because of the risk for heavy metal contamination. I avoid fish for the same reason. @Leo Gura How do you get enough Omega 3, and the correct ratio between the different types of it?

He has a video about the supplements he takes.

Chia seeds, flax seeds, walnuts or vegan omega 3 supplements.

@BlackMaze @dflores321 Thanks for the tips. Do these have EPA and DHA type Omega 3 I wonder?

@flowboy Thanks, found it.

The Algae supplements do have them. By eating flax seeds etc your body converts them. But i don't really know much about this look it up.

@BlackMaze Ok, and it is not the case that the algae are more contained by heavy metals and toxins? I think I have read that somewhere.

@Value i don't know the answer. I'm sure @Michael569 knows something more about this. 

The convertion ratio depends on different factors and there are ways to raise it i think. There are vegan powerlifters that just take omega3 from food and they seem to do just fine but don't take my word for it.

@Michael569 Woah thanks, all I needed to know!?

@Value you can take supplements made out of micro algy if you are vegan, even though they arent optimal . Also no need to worry with toxins in fish oil due to molecular destilation. around 30 € would be a 3 month complete supply
