A general omega 3-6-9 complex with a broad fatty acid profile, but limited specific fish oil content.
21st Century Triple Omega Complex 3-6-9 aims to provide a comprehensive fatty acid profile by combining fish oil (omega-3), flaxseed oil (omega-3, 6, 9), and borage oil (omega-6, 9). While it offers a wider range of fatty acids, the individual contribution of fish oil is relatively low at 400mg per softgel, resulting in a minimal amount of EPA and DHA. Nutritionists generally advise that most Western diets are already sufficient or even excessive in omega-6 and omega-9, making additional supplementation of these less critical than specific omega-3s. Online reviews often appreciate the 'all-in-one' approach, but discerning consumers looking for potent omega-3 benefits might find it insufficient.
- Provides a blend of omega-3, 6, and 9 fatty acids from various sources, offering a comprehensive fatty acid supplement.
- Very affordable price per serving ($0.09), making it accessible for those seeking a general fatty acid blend.
- Convenient softgel form and high review count indicating general consumer acceptance.
- Low concentration of actual fish oil (400mg) and thus very limited EPA/DHA per serving (estimated ~120mg total), making it inefficient for specific omega-3 benefits.
- The inclusion of omega-6 and omega-9, which are often plentiful in modern diets, may not be necessary for everyone and can dilute the focus on crucial omega-3s.
- This product is not ideal for those seeking high-dose, targeted omega-3 supplementation due to its diluted formula.
- Individuals with a healthy diet may not need supplemental omega-6 or 9, making the primary benefit the small amount of omega-3.

Categories
Fish Oil 55.0
As a 'Fish Oil' product, its primary weakness is the diluted concentration of actual fish oil (omega-3s), making it a less impactful choice compared to pure fish oil supplements.
Goals
General Health 60.0
While it contributes some fatty acids for general health, the low omega-3 content from fish oil means it's not as effective as dedicated fish oil supplements for broad systemic support.
Skin Health 55.0
While flax and borage oils can contribute to skin health, the limited fish oil content means its direct impact on skin conditions requiring omega-3s may be minor.
Heart Health 50.0
The limited EPA/DHA content provides only minimal support for cardiovascular health; dedicated fish oil products with higher concentrations are far more effective for targeted heart benefits.
