Re: omega 3 fish oil capsule supplement for ADD?

Yes, the wild salmon do eat the Omega-3… from algae. There are algal supplements out there that get their Omega 3 directly from the source, not from fish. Good for vegetarians… and no need to worry about mercury concentrations, or other toxins that build up in the fish… or the “fish burp”.

I just saw a CVS brand I was going to purchase, but it’s not for vegetarians (gelatin), so… not for me.

Many other brands out there that are easy to find online. I was taking Ovega, but will look for another brand since a new study came out on EPA/DHA (for the primarily inattentive type).

She didn’t include any algal supplements in her list, though.
