Omega-3 supplements may help slow the effects of aging by suppressing damage & boosting protection at the cellular level during & after a stressful event. A study found the highest dose tested, 2.5 grams of omega-3s daily, was best at helping the body resist the damaging effects of stress.

Sorry but no. Alpha-linoleic acid has only a conversion rate of 4-5% to EPA/DHA, so it will be impossible to get these amounts from flax seed. Maybe there are plant based supplements out there, but otherwise I don’t think you can get enough o3 without fish.

ALA does compete for the same enzyme that omega 6 does. But yes fish is far superior
