Q: How do the omega 3s in Sacha Inchi compare with those in fish oil?
A: Sacha Inchi is a vegetable oil that contains short-chain omega-3 fats. It also contains omega 6's that most Americans consume in excess and puts us at greater risk of chronic disease. Only about 5-10 percent of alpha linolenic acid (the short-chain omega-3 in Sacha Inchi) can be converted to EPA, and less than 1 percent of alpha linolenic acid can be converted to DHA. Stick with highly purified fish oil.
