Omega-3 Foods for Skin: Fish, Flax, and What Labels Mean
Share
Salmon and sardines provide EPA and DHA. Flaxseed, chia seeds, and walnuts provide ALA, a different omega-3 fat.
What to try with food
Add salmon to a grain bowl or stir ground flaxseed into oatmeal. These foods bring different nutrients, so choose options that fit your meals and preferences.
What to know about supplements
Compare EPA and DHA per serving rather than the total fish oil weight. The nutrient content of a capsule does not establish that it will clear acne or relieve eczema.
