I was comparing sources of omega-3.
Supplements:
- 0.75 g * 180 / $ 21.96 = 6.1 g/$ (here)
- 0.75 g * 120 / $ 25.62 = 3.5 g/$ (here)
- 1.40 g * 90 / $ 28.47 = 4.4 g/$ (here) (label is per 2 capsules)
- 0.45 g * 60 / $ 33.65 = 0.8 g/$ (here) (vegan)
Flax seed:
- Flax seed oil has 6.388 g/tbsp Omega-3, according to Wikipedia (here) (2 tbsp/oz).
- Virgin flax seed oil costs around 0.34 $/oz (here) or 0.66 $/oz (here).
- So 1 oz contains 12.8 g omega-3 for 0.34 $, or 38.0 g/$.
My question then is, can I just use flax seed oil, or am I over-simplifying this?
