Although DHA is contained in fish oil, DHA can be superior to fish oil in that fish oil also contains EPA. EPA suppresses the immune system and increases lipid peroxidation. Since DHA produces most of the benefits of fish oil, whereas EPA produces most of the harm, it can make sense to take a high DHA formulation rather than fish oil.

Secoisolariciresinol diglycoside, or SDG, is a plant lignan most notably found in flaxseed (linseed). SDG is classified as a phytoestrogen since it is a plant-derived, nonsteroid compound that possesses estrogen-like activity. SDG has weak estrogenic activity. The level of SDG in flaxseed typically varies between 0.6% and 1.8%.
