whats the absorption rate, and once they are absorbed do the tell the saturate fattys to out themselves? Or does it work on a much smaller less noticible scale?
it's not about absorption but conversion too...
simple answer:
fish oil has omega 3 fatty acids but theses 2 fatty acids (EPA, DHA) are structerally different than the omega 3 found in flax (ALA)
They are all considered omega 3 because the 3rd carbon has a double bond. If you see the skeleton backbone structure of a fatty acid.....the 3rd carbon has a opening
using enzymes, your body converts ALA to EPA and DHA
