Omega-3 Supplementation? (slrpnk.net)

I was going to pick up some chia seed oil capsules to see if they helped improve my lipid panels but got drawn into a research rabbit-hole and am now a bit lost. Is it useless to take Omega-3s that don’t have both DHA and EPA? Anyone feel like they have a good grasp on this?

I do not have a super-deep knowledge of nutrition but FWIW I take the vegan omega-3 supplements from Source Naturals, my yearly lipid panel comes back looking fine. I do not know if I need them and suspect that I do not, but I prefer to have the safety net there.
