Fish vs Egg

[Guest guest]

" What is especially important for vegetarian diets, is the

eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) + docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) content of

these eggs. When hens are fed flax seed, the richest plant source of

alpha-linolenic fatty acid (ALA) in the North American diet, they

break down some of the ALA into the two desirable fatty acids, making

their eggs excellent sources of both EPA and DHA "

 

One of my patients sent this to me.. I wonder could this compete at

all with fish oil supplementation (for EPA & DHA)? Does anyone know

how much EPA/DHA such an egg would have?
