These are readily available in fish oil, but do need to be converted in flaxseed oil. DHA and EPA have great anti-inflammatory effects. Flaxseed generally contains 9% saturated, 18% oleic acid, 16% carbon omega 6 and 57% omega 3 fatty acids. However, flaxseeds themselves contain phytic acid which can carbon hinder the the absorption of such nutrients as iron, calcium, phosphorus and zinc. A good quality oil from the flaxseeds should be without phytic acids. You will find this oil refrigerated and in a dark glass bottle. It should be labeled as cold-pressed and organic, with no heat treatments carbon or chemical solvents. Do not vigorously shake oils as to help reduce oxidation (which makes the oil spoil) and if it tastes bitter, it has spoiled (do not use).
