What is the difference between fish body oil with omega 3 supplements and flax seed supplements and does multivitamin supplements replace themand should you ask a doctor before taking them?
When it comes to a fish oil supplement, flaxseed oil supplements cannot replace them. The Omega 3 in fish oil is easy for your body to process, getting you the Omega 3 you need in order to function properly. Flaxseed oil supplements are not easy for your body to process, so the actual amount of Omega 3 you're receiving is questionable at best.

I think omega 3 fats are good to add in diet chart. There are many sources of omega-3 fats but in adding some omega-3 rich food we can get this from omega oil also. Some foods like fish and other seafood (especially cold-water fatty fish, such as salmon, mackerel, tuna, herring, and sardines), nuts and seeds (such as flaxseed, chia seeds, and walnuts) plant oils (such as flaxseed oil, soybean oil, and canola oil). Well, I am also using vegan omega oil from Free Spirit Group which is very affordable cost and I suggest this for all.

Flax is also a great source of fiber.
What can you take instead of Omega 3 fish oil?
A fish oil supplement is just an essential fatty acid supplement. If you are looking for a new supplement look for words like Omega 3 or Omega 6 or EFA, GLA, or EPA. They are all supplements that have the fatty acids that help the heart, reduce inflammation, and all the other stuff fish oil does. Some options are flaxseed oil, primrose oil, and grape seed oil. If you still want to try fish oil, you can try it in a lower dose or a different brand to see if the fishy taste is still there, assuming that's your problem, since that's most people's problem with fish oil.

How much flaxseed should a vegan have daily to get the recommended amount of omega 3 fatty acids?
The daily requirement for omega 3 is 2-4 grams per day. 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseeds provide 3.2 grams of omega 3. It is best to grind whole linseeds in a coffee grinder just before you sprinkle over your cereal. I would like to point you towards a new vegetarian omega-3 source - Echium seed oil. It is relatively new, and many people will not have heard of it. There is currently only one manufacturer of it that i am aware of (in the UK, that is). If you look at detailed composition charts, the omega-3 fat SDA is a closer relative to EPA and DHA found in fish oil, and converts to these long-chain fats up to 5 times more than ALA in flaxseed oil. I haven't tried it myself as i take fish oils, but i have heard very positive things about echium oil.
