Product analysis

50 out of 100

ProEFA-3-6-9 Lemon combines several types of fatty acids, with limited relevance to skin support. Unclear fatty-acid forms make it harder to match the mixture to preparations used for specific skin outcomes.

AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works

Nutrient Quality20

The fatty-acid forms are not clearly disclosed. That limits a close comparison with preparations used for particular benefits.

Ingredient Transparency63

The listed fatty-acid amounts are disclosed, helping you compare servings. Their specific forms remain unclear.

Value For Money43

The omega-3 content is relatively costly, while omega-6 and omega-9 compare more favorably. Those comparisons use the whole supplement cost rather than separate ingredient prices.

Customer Satisfaction83

Customer feedback is very positive across hundreds of reviews. The review base provides a reasonably broad picture of satisfaction.

Product Focus71

Skin support is the main connection considered here, but the evidence depends on particular fatty-acid preparations. Broad omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9 amounts do not establish targeted skin improvement.
