what the evidence says
Algal oil supplies preformed EPA and DHA, and human studies show it raises blood omega-3 levels comparably to fish oil, which is the mechanism the whole evidence base runs through. Fewer outcome trials have used algal oil directly, so the tier sits a step below fish oil, but it is the only serious option for vegans since plant ALA converts poorly.
