Can Omega-3 rich flax seed oil have the same benefit as a vegetarian alternative to fish oil?
Flax Seed can have the same benefit but because of chemistry there are some unknowns.

How much of the ALA is converted to either EPA or DHA or any at all is variable from person to person and may be as low as 10% for EPA.
