Can omega-3 (ala) consumed from flax increase tmao levels?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
TMAO levels: There is still a lot of research being done on TMAO levels. That being said, there is evidence that vegans typically have almost no TMAO- producing bacteria in their stomachs. There is still controversy flax seed vs fish oil, because of the ALA in flaxseed, which has to be converted to its active forms so our bodies can use it. Our bodies are inefficient at converting ALA to its active form.
