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.

Pros
  • Extremely cost-effective ($0.11 per serving).
  • Popular with many positive reviews.
  • Provides a blend of different oils, offering varied fatty acids.
Cons
  • 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.
Warnings
  • 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.

Report overview

Categories

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

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.
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.
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.
