FADS1 Gene

Omega-3 fatty acids are good for you in several ways, but one big thing we gain from omega 3’s is DH A and EPA for brain health. These two fatty acids have links to lower heart disease and better brains. The body can convert plant-based omega 3’s from flaxseed and chia seeds into DHA and EPA. But for people with FADS1 genetic variants, this conversion process is extremely limited. Instead, they may need to get DHA and EPA directly through fish or algae oil (vegan option).
