A 3-6-9 blend offering a spectrum of fatty acids, but with a moderate level of direct EPA/DHA from fish oil.
Swanson's MultiOmega 3-6-9 aims to provide a complete fatty acid profile, combining flax, fish, and borage oils. The explicit '18/12' indication for fish oil is helpful, though the resulting EPA/DHA (144mg EPA, 96mg DHA from 800mg fish oil) is on the lower side for many omega-3 benefits. While a balanced intake of omegas is important, most Western diets are already abundant in omega-6 fatty acids, potentially making a dedicated omega-6 supplement unnecessary or even counterproductive for some. However, borage oil's GLA content can be beneficial for skin health and inflammation. The mixed tocopherols (Vitamin E) help protect the oils from oxidation. This product is a decent option for those specifically seeking a broad fatty acid complex, but not ideal for maximizing EPA/DHA intake.
- Provides a full spectrum of Omega-3, -6, and -9 fatty acids, which some individuals prefer for comprehensive support.
- Explicitly states 'Fish Oil 18/12', providing clarity on basic EPA/DHA content per serving.
- Includes Vitamin E to help prevent oxidation of the oils.
- The effective EPA/DHA dosage from fish oil (approx. 240mg total) is relatively low for significant benefits in heart, brain, and joint health compared to higher concentration fish oils.
- Many diets are already high in Omega-6, potentially making the additional Omega-6 from flax and borage oil less beneficial for some users.
- Individuals primarily seeking high doses of EPA/DHA should look for products with higher concentrated fish oil.

Categories
Fish Oil 60.0
Although it contains fish oil, it's diluted within a 3-6-9 blend, and the actual EPA/DHA concentration from the fish oil component is not its primary strength.
Goals
Skin Health 65.0
The combination of omega-3s and especially GLA from borage oil can be beneficial for skin health, hydration, and managing inflammatory skin conditions.
General Health 60.0
Offers a broad spectrum of fatty acids, but the moderate EPA/DHA content limits its overall impact compared to more concentrated omega-3 supplements.
Heart Health 55.0
While some omega-3s are present, the overall EPA/DHA is lower than recommended for significant cardiovascular benefits. Omega-6s and -9s play less direct roles in heart health compared to EPA/DHA.
