Description
Different dietary fats play different roles. This plant-oil blend brings together flaxseed, evening primrose, canola, blackcurrant and pumpkin seed oils. Comparing the formula means looking beyond the number in the name.
What is in it
The supplied formula lists flaxseed oil 1,400 mg, evening primrose oil 300 mg, canola oil 260 mg, blackcurrant oil 20 mg and pumpkin seed oil 20 mg, totaling 2,000 mg. The product name is Omega 3-6-9 1000mg. Final capsule serving and shell ingredients are not yet specified. Total oil weight is not the amount of omega-3.
The evidence, in context
Plant oils may supply ALA, an essential omega-3 fatty acid. Its conversion to EPA and DHA is limited. Research distinguishes ALA from the long-chain omega-3s found in fish oils; this blend should not be treated as equivalent to an EPA/DHA product. No fatty-acid assay is provided.
Directions
Follow the final product label for capsule serving and daily use. The listed oil amounts do not establish a daily recommendation.
Before you use it
Check the final capsule ingredients for allergies and dietary restrictions. Discuss supplements with a clinician if taking medicines or if pregnant, breastfeeding or managing a medical condition.
Formula reference
NOW Foods lists the same five oil amounts for a two-softgel serving of its own Omega 3-6-9 product. This explains the reference formula’s 2,000 mg total and 1,000 mg per softgel; it does not confirm this product’s final serving or shell.
