Visit a health food store. I checked the ingredients on a container of
flax seeds and DHA was not listed. It says on the front of the container
the following:
"natural source of fiber, trace vitamins, minerals, amino acids, Omega 3
and Lignans."Health food stores sell capsules of fish oil which is high in Omega 3.
I hope this helps,

what are some good natural (preferably vegetarian) sources of DHA, and
omega-3 fatty acid (I believe). Does flax seed contain it? thanks.There are no good vegetarian sources of DHA readily available, as you'd
have to get it from ocean plankton. Perhaps somebody's molecularly
distilling it from that source by now (look on the web) but it's going
to be VERY expensive.The omega-3 in flax is 18 carbons, and is turned into the 22 carbn DHA
in your body only poorly. It's better than nothing, but fish oil
capsules or red salmon is a much better way to get DHA. -

others are EPA and GLA and are only essential under certain conditions.
Normally these are not needed in most healthy individuals as they are
manufactured by the body. People with certain conditions like
arthritis, low thyroid or those who lack certain enzymes may benefit
from supplementing with the GLA.Rich sources of EPA and DHA: cod liver oil and fatty fish.
Rich sources of GLA: black currant, borage, primrose.--
