On one of 'my' autism boards, someone asked if there was another source of Omega 3 EPA & DHA besides Fish oil, which they, or their child, was reactive to. I've found another vegan source of EPA/DHA (they claim) and am posting the site info. I have not used this supplement so .... Sale and Clearance V-Pure Vegan EPA-DHA Omega-3 Stock #: 635 $24.95 Product Description: Finally -- a vegan source of both omega-3 DHA and EPA! V-Pure is a high-grade, organically grown algae oil. It is encapsulated in the highest quality vegan capsules. 60-capsule bottle. Oily fish are rich sources of omega-3 EPA and DHA, but this is due to their diet of algae.

Algae is one of the oldest food sources on the planet, used by the Aztecs and Chinese for its prophylactic properties.
