Analysis

The three-softgel serving lists 507 mg alpha-linolenic acid, 498 mg linoleic acid, 435 mg oleic acid, 298 mg EPA, 180 mg GLA, and 192 mg DHA. This is genuine broad-spectrum coverage rather than a blend that relies on oil totals alone.

Mixed tocopherols provide antioxidant support for the many unsaturated fats. EPA and DHA reach a useful maintenance amount, while GLA and the other plant-associated fatty acids make the formula more versatile than a basic fish oil.

The label does not identify the source oils, molecular forms, or extraction methods behind the active fatty acids. Independent contaminant testing is also not stated, and the three-softgel serving may be inconvenient for some users.

Who is it for
  • Adults wanting several omega families in one formula
  • People seeking meaningful GLA with marine fats
  • Users comfortable with three softgels per serving
Best for
  • Broad fatty-acid coverage
  • Maintenance-level EPA and DHA
  • Combined GLA, oleic, and linoleic acid intake

Pros

  • Discloses six major fatty acids separately
  • Includes mixed tocopherols for oxidation protection
  • Provides useful maintenance amounts of EPA and DHA

Cons

  • Does not identify the source oils
  • Molecular forms and extraction methods are missing
  • Requires three softgels per serving

Warnings

  • EPA and DHA suggest a marine ingredient, so people with fish allergy should verify the source before use
  • The GLA source is not identified, which matters for people avoiding certain botanical oils
  • EPA and DHA can add to bleeding risk with anticoagulant or antiplatelet medicines

Nutrient quality

77 High impact

Several fatty acids reach useful amounts and mixed tocopherols provide oxidation protection. Missing source and form details reduce confidence in absorption and purity.

Ingredient transparency

80 Highest impact

Active fatty-acid amounts are clearly disclosed without a hidden blend. Complete use directions and inactive-ingredient details are not available.

Customer satisfaction

64 Moderate impact

The aggregate satisfaction measure is favorable, with response volume determining how much confidence it deserves. Comment-level evidence is absent, so recurring complaints and purpose fit cannot be verified.

Value for money

57 Moderate impact

Broad fatty-acid coverage and oxidation protection provide some value. A multi-softgel serving and incomplete source details weaken competitiveness.

Report overview
Oleic Acid · 435 mg OverallScore71
D- Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityA- Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyA+ Value

The oleic acid amount is substantial and clearly disclosed, while the cost per active amount is favorable. Vitamin E and mixed tocopherols provide meaningful protection against oxidation. The source oil and extraction method are not identified, leaving an important quality detail unresolved.

View ingredientView products
Linoleic Acid · 498 mg OverallScore54
D+ Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityB Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value

The formula clearly provides a moderate 498 mg linoleic acid amount and protects its polyunsaturated fats with vitamin E in mixed-tocopherol form. The label does not identify the botanical oil source or extraction method, leaving purity and processing quality uncertain. The broad omega blend is transparent about its fatty acids, but its cost per gram of linoleic acid is high for a targeted LA product.

View ingredientView products
Gamma Linolenic Acid · 180 mg OverallScore51
F Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityA- Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyC Value

The clearly disclosed GLA amount provides a useful active dose within a broader fatty-acid blend. The botanical source and extraction method are missing, so source quality and processing cannot be verified despite the presence of mixed tocopherols. Cost efficiency per unit of active GLA is moderate rather than especially low.

RxOmega-3

Natural Factors WS WomenSense
<p>Fish oil, evening primrose oil, and flaxseed oil retain broad omega coverage with clearly stated EPA, DHA, GLA, and ALA amounts. EPA and DHA are substantial, although molecular form and oxidation protection are not disclosed.</p>
88 Performance

Super EPA Pro

Thorne
<p>A very high EPA amount with supporting DHA provides far greater focused marine omega-3 depth than the original. The ethyl-ester form is best taken with dietary fat, while GLA and plant-fatty-acid breadth are absent.</p>
84 Performance

Total Omega 3-6-9 Lemonade Flavor

Barlean's
<p>EPA, DHA, GLA, linoleic acid, oleic acid, and ALA provide slightly deeper broad-spectrum coverage than the original. Source oils, molecular forms, and oxidation safeguards are missing, so the ingredient gains do not resolve the main quality uncertainties.</p>
84 Budget

Organic Hemp Oil

Manitoba Harvest
<p>The lower-cost food oil supplies large amounts of ALA, linoleic acid, and GLA from hemp. It does not provide EPA or DHA, so it is a plant-fatty-acid alternative rather than a complete replacement for the original marine-and-plant blend.</p>
76 Budget

K Bio Krill 500 mg

Bio Nutrition
<p>The lower serving cost provides phospholipid-rich krill oil with astaxanthin in a compact formula. EPA and DHA are modest and GLA is absent, so it is narrower than the original despite the savings.</p>
79 Budget

Cod Liver Oil Liquid

Kirkman
<p>The economical liquid supplies balanced EPA and DHA with vitamins A, D, and E. It omits GLA and other plant fats, while preformed vitamin A needs care during pregnancy or when combined with other retinol sources.</p>
86 Value

Omega Plus

Thorne
<p>Useful EPA and DHA are paired with borage-derived GLA at a lower serving cost, preserving the original’s marine-and-plant concept. The GLA amount is modest and several processing, antioxidant, and purity details remain missing.</p>
82 Value

Hemp Oil

Manitoba Harvest
<p>A low serving cost provides large amounts of ALA, linoleic acid, and GLA from hemp oil. It offers strong plant-fat value but cannot replace the original’s EPA and DHA contribution.</p>
73 Value

PS-IQ Memory

Natural Factors PS Factor
<p>The lower-cost blend combines modest DHA and GLA with phosphatidylserine for a more specialized cognitive focus. EPA, DHA, GLA, and phosphatidylserine amounts are all small, so its value depends on wanting that narrower combination.</p>
