@esteban The studies I was mentioning were also about omega 3 values in red blood cells. As I mentioned earlier, the blood is going to be much more dangerous to molecules than in organs and where antioxidants are naturally concentrated, like in the nerves where vitamin C is highly concentrated...

@esteban The main argument against purely short-chain diets is that conversion rates are not very high. The studies which suggest this are presumably composed of test subjects which represent the total population. A large marjority of people consume animal fats, and thusly, they will have...

@esteban Indeed, that would be better than eating them together. However, I am not aware of how long that downregulation of enzyme production lasts. My personal suggestion is to even take the algae every other day or less, but just up the dose. The thing is, the fats will simply accumulate in...

@esteban I don't think you understand my point. The omega 3s and 6s from plants must be altered in the body to get the highly unsaturated fats like those you get from animals or algae. The "1 to 1 up to a 1 to 2" ratio is only useful when you're talking about plant fats. This is because the...

@esteban If your omega 3 supplement has a lot of EPA and DHA, but not a lot of AA, then those fats that you do get will stop the conversion of plant-based omega 6 sources. Omega 6s are still very necessary for the body, so you should be aware of this. I honestly don't know if algae is also a...
