A high-quality, comprehensive Omega 3-6-9 blend from NOW, but with a lower fish oil Omega-3 concentration per serving and a higher price for targeted fish oil benefits.
NOW Super Omega 3-6-9 1200 mg provides a balanced approach to essential fatty acid supplementation by combining fish oil, organic flax seed oil, and borage oil. While NOW is highly respected for quality and transparency, the 800mg fish oil component per serving, yielding an estimated 240mg of EPA+DHA, is relatively low for targeted fish oil benefits when compared to dedicated supplements. The inclusion of Omega-6 and 9 is beneficial for overall balance, but the high price per serving makes it a less cost-effective choice if the primary goal is high-dose EPA/DHA intake.
- From NOW, a highly reputable brand known for quality and third-party testing.
- Provides a balanced blend of Omega-3, 6, and 9 fatty acids.
- Includes organic flaxseed oil and borage oil for diverse fatty acid support.
- Lower fish oil (EPA/DHA) concentration per serving compared to dedicated fish oil products.
- High price per serving, especially considering the modest fish oil Omega-3 content.
- Serving size is two softgels to achieve the stated blend quantity.
- For specific high-dose EPA/DHA requirements, a dedicated fish oil supplement would be more appropriate and potentially more cost-effective.

Categories
Fish Oil 70.0

Goals
General Health 78.0
Excellent for general health due to its comprehensive blend of omegas from a trusted brand, promoting overall fatty acid balance.

Beneficial for skin health due to the inclusion of Omega-3, 6 (GLA from borage oil), and 9, which contribute to skin hydration and integrity.
Heart Health 70.0
While beneficial, the fish oil component offers a modest EPA/DHA dose for heart health compared to high-concentration fish oil supplements designed specifically for cardiovascular support.
