Spirulina is low in fat and that is where Omegas are located. You would have to eat excessive amounts of Spirulina to get overt benefits. However, it is true that Spirulina has a good balance of Omega 3 to Omega 6 ratio and our SNACK products contain Spirulina as well as nuts and seeds – which are great sources of Omegas. This is partly why we love using flaxseeds in SNACK. Flaxseed is high in Omega 3 and rich in ALA as well as EPA and DHA.
