My understanding is that the Omega-3 from these is not particularly bio-avaiable compared to fish/krill oil.

yeah… so just eat more! less than 4 spoons should be enough.

and having only ALA and not EPA/DHA as source of omega-3 will slowly lead to your body be more efficient at transforming (ALA to EPA/DHA)

and there is plenty of educative websites searching for “vegan” and omega-3 sources…

I read somewhere that those omega-3s from seeds are less effective than those in fish, as a conversion step is needed.
