How do you buy Algae food products that are grown in a lab instead of harvested from water bodies like Lakes, Rivers, Oceans, Ponds or Seas, that can contain Mercury or other toxins
@shortstories They are algie farms but I usually Buy an algie supplement rather that the algie I very rare have some dry algie I eat it like a snack like potatoes chips but is a very good source of iodine that is very important For the tyroid.
But how do you know that algae used to make the algae supplement does not have heavy metals like Mercury or other toxins?
@shortstories I take My chances but is way more save that eating fish or fish supplement I bet if You test comparing 1 to the other fish by a long shot Will have more Mercury and heavy metals.
The body can convert ALA omega 3 to DPA and EPA omega 3 but only a low percent of it is converted
DPA and EPA omega 3 are usually from plants or animals that live in water bodies like fish or algae
What about just eating a lot of ALA omega 3 from plants that do not live in the water like Chia seed in order to avoid getting toxins or heavy metal from plants that grow in the water or fish
By grow in the water I mean grow in water bodies as opposed to in the ground
@shortstories But I rather have the algie supplement cause is 2 in 1 shot I get both Omega 3 and iodine in 1 supplement economic like TFM Say.
Have you checked if you exceed the iodine upper limit?
@shortstories No I am no worry about that I am pretty active physical if I exceded My Daily intake I Probably sweat the excess I take this supplement aleast 1 pill every 5 days
