i think flaxseed
Flax seed oil capsules.
Flax (aka linseed) (Linum usitatissimum) and its oil are perhaps the most widely available botanical sources of omega-3. Flaxseed oil consists of ca. 55% ALA (alpha-linolenic acid). Flax, like chia, contains approximately three times as much omega-3 as omega-6.
15 grams of flaxseed oil provides ca. 8 grams of ALA, which is converted in the body to EPA and then DHA at an efficiency of (5%-10%), and (2%-5%) respectively.[26]
[edit] Botanical sources
Common name Alternate name Linnaean name % Omega-3 Reference
Chia chia sage Salvia hispanica 64% [27]
Kiwi Chinese gooseberry Actinidia chinensis 62% [27]

Flax linseed Linum usitatissimum 55% [27]
Lingonberry cowberry Vaccinium vitis-idaea 49% [27]

Yes. I take an omega complex that has no fish oil.
The best source of vegetarian Omega-3 is ground golden flaxseeds.
I take Hemp Omega 3 pills.
Yep, much Omega 3 comes from cereals.
You can get Omega-3 from a new type of pasta called Barilla Plus, which means that you don't even need a pill.
Yes. Flax oil but they usually come in a gelatin pill which is animal derived. Best thing is to buy flax oil and take one tablespoon a day or pour it on your veggies..., make salad dressing, mix with smoothies...
The "Neuromins" DHA supplement is made from seaweed. Overpriced, but.
Udo's Complete Omega has 3, 6 and 9 and is vegetarian.
