My understanding is that the Omega-3 from these is not particularly bio-avaiable compared to fish/krill oil.

yeah… so just eat more! less than 4 spoons should be enough.

and having only ALA and not EPA/DHA as source of omega-3 will slowly lead to your body be more efficient at transforming (ALA to EPA/DHA)
