Wide-spread inflammation is a common problem that leads to physical, emotional, and mental decline. It's almost always blamed on poor diets overloaded with omega-6 fatty acids.

But, even though omega-6s can and do contribute to inflammation, not all of them are bad. In fact, certain omega 6s are necessary for good health. So, limiting them isn't likely to fix the problem.

The truth is, our standard American diet is lacking in high quality omega-3s and what omega-3s it does provide are usually in a form that our bodies don't use well.

We need biologically active forms like EPA and DHA - those found in fatty fish like salmon - But there are problems with relying on fish or fish oil supplements.

• Fresh fish is expensive, especially with today's inflation
• Fresh fish and fish oils have a high risk of  contamination
• Fish oil products can be unstable and go rancid quickly
• Modern farming and fishing methods are ecologically destructive
• Specialty diets (vegan and vegetarian) do not allow fish

For these reasons, many people turn to foods fortified with omega-3s including natural plant sources such as flax and chia seed. But these foods provide omega-3s as Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) - an inactive form that, despite being considered an essential nutrient by the FDA, is not usable by our bodies. It must be converted into biologically active forms such as Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA). Unfortunately, on average, only 5% of ALA gets converted and that's only IF we aren't deficient in certain minerals or dealing with other health issues that compromise the conversion process.

Thankfully, there's a better alternative.

Algae is the only plant-based source of DHA and EPA Omega-3 Fatty Acids and it's where fish get their omega-3s. Algae is a renewable source easily farmed in eco-friendly facilities. Since there are no fish involved, algae-based omega-3 supplements don't have the same risk of  contamination and there are no unpleasant fishy burps.

Omega 3s are commonly recommended to help counteract the effects of inflammatory omega 6s, but there are differences between how DHA and EPA work.

DHA has shown to lower the production of four proinflammatory proteins, while EPA only lowers one type. Additionally, DHA has shown to lower the secretion of white blood cells from three types of pro-inflammatory proteins, while EPA again only lowers one.

EPA, on the other hand, may be better at helping the body maintain a healthy balance between proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory proteins through its effects on the immune system.
