- 1). Eat fish. Cooking the fish will not reduce the amount of Omega-3 found in the food source.
- 2). Take a supplement. Fish oil supplements tend to be the best sources, because they contain both eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids. This variety can lead to better absorption.
- 3). Take your supplement with a meal. Slightly higher rates of absorption are demonstrated when an Omega-3 supplement is taken with food. However, there has been no documentation that the time of the day will affect the rate of absorption---as long as you take the supplement with food.
- 4). Mix it up. Along with fish sources, flaxseed or canola oil and English walnuts are a good source of the variety of Omega-3 known as alpha-linolenic acid.
