insights Analysis
This 21st Century Triple Omega Complex provides 400mg each of Borage Oil, Flaxseed Oil, and Fish Oil, summing to a total of 1.2 grams (1200mg) of omega complex per serving. Similar to other 3-6-9 blends, it offers variety but with limited effective dosages of the key active omega-3s. The fish oil content is particularly low at 400mg, and crucially, the EPA/DHA breakdown is not provided. While very affordable at $0.11 per serving and highly reviewed, nutritionists generally prioritize direct Omega-3 supplementation due to the typical overconsumption of Omega-6 and 9 in Western diets. The low specific omega-3 content makes its efficacy for the stated goals questionable.
- Extremely cost-effective ($0.11 per serving).
- Popular with many positive reviews.
- Provides a blend of different oils, offering varied fatty acids.
- Very low fish oil content (400mg) per serving.
- Does not specify EPA/DHA amounts, hindering assessment of omega-3 potency.
- Omega-6 and 9 are often consumed sufficiently through diet, making their supplementation largely unnecessary for most people.
- Not suitable for individuals needing significant omega-3 supplementation for specific health conditions, as the actual therapeutic dose of beneficial omega-3s (EPA/DHA) is likely very low.
- Consumers should prioritize dedicated omega-3 supplements for targeted benefits.

Categories
Fish Oil 45.0
While included in the 'Fish Oil' collection, fish oil is a minor component (400mg out of 1200mg total complex) and the active EPA/DHA content is undisclosed, making it a weak contender within this category compared to dedicated fish oil products.
Goals
General Health 60.0
Provides some fatty acids and is very affordable, contributing to general dietary supplementation. However, the low active omega-3s limit its overall health impact for comprehensive well-being.
Skin Health 55.0
The combination of flaxseed oil and borage oil (providing GLA) along with the minimal fish oil might offer some minor benefits for skin integrity and hydration, but the direct omega-3 impact is limited due to low dosage.
Heart Health 45.0
The very low and unspecified fish oil content is unlikely to provide significant cardiovascular benefits compared to recommended omega-3 doses for heart health, falling short of clinical relevance.
