Hmm, I have never heard of seal oil. Is that even legal in the US. I think I would have a hard time swallowing seal oil capsules. I never thought abouth ethics when I was trying fish oil, but I dont think I could do Seal oil. I dont eat Veal or lamb either so I guess it kind of relates.I was doing more researc and discovered yet another Omega-3, Stearidonic acid (18:4) also known as SDA. There was a study done to see if there was a more effective plant based Fatty acid source at increasing omega-3 levels in humans than Flak oil. The study showed that Black Currant Oil, the best source of stearidonic acid, was 4 times more effective at increasing EPA levels in humans than flaxseed oil. Hemp seed oil is also a good source of SDA.
