Leinöl (Leinsamen-Öl)
Overview
Flaxseed oil is the richest plant source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA, C18:3n-3), an essential omega-3 fatty acid. Conversion to EPA and DHA in humans is limited (<15%), making it a poor substitute for marine omega-3s. Adequate intake: 1.1–1.6 g ALA/day. Also contains phytoestrogenic lignans (secoisolariciresinol). Susceptible to oxidative rancidity; refrigeration required. Blood-thinning effect: caution with anticoagulants. Not interchangeable with fish oil for EPA/DHA-specific benefits.

Key Interactions
1 verified interaction found
Leinöl (ALA) und DHA sind beide Omega-3-Quellen und ergänzen sich ohne nennenswerte Enzymkompetition bei physiologischen Dosen. Brenna et al. (2009) zeigen, dass ALA-Konversion zu DHA beim Menschen sehr ineffizient ist (<1%) und vorgeformtes DHA nicht ersetzt werden kann.
Leinöl und DHA/EPA-Supplement können gleichzeitig eingenommen werden — keine relevante Konkurrenz. Für vegane Personen: Leinöl + Algenöl-DHA als vollständige Omega-3-Versorgung sinnvoll.
