Score 60.0
A balanced 3-6-9 blend with modest fish oil content, potentially less beneficial than dedicated omega-3 supplements as omega-6 and 9 are often sufficiently obtained from diet.

A balanced 3-6-9 blend with modest fish oil content, potentially less beneficial than dedicated omega-3 supplements as omega-6 and 9 are often sufficiently obtained from diet.
Swanson's MultiOmega 3-6-9 combines 800mg each of Flax Oil (Omega-3 ALA), Fish Oil (800mg with 18% EPA and 12% DHA), and Borage Oil (Omega-6 GLA). While this offers a comprehensive blend of fatty acids, nutritionists often emphasize that most Western diets are already abundant in Omega-6 and Omega-9, making supplementation for these less crucial than for Omega-3s. The fish oil component itself, providing roughly 144mg EPA and 96mg DHA, is a relatively low dose for achieving significant therapeutic benefits across its stated goals, especially for heart or brain health. The value proposition is good for a blend, but the effective omega-3 dose is modest.
- Provides a convenient combination of Omega-3, 6, and 9 fatty acids.
- Includes Vitamin E for antioxidant support.
- Cost-effective for a multi-omega blend.
- The effective dose of EPA (144mg) and DHA (96mg) from the fish oil is quite low for clinical benefits.
- Omega-6 and Omega-9 are often adequately consumed through diet, making their supplementation less necessary for most individuals.
- Individuals specifically targeting heart, brain, or joint health with omega-3s might find the EPA/DHA content in this product insufficient and should consider a higher potency, dedicated fish oil supplement.

Categories
Fish Oil 55.0
While it contains fish oil, it's a component of a larger blend, and the active EPA/DHA content (240mg total) is significantly lower than many dedicated fish oil supplements, making it a weaker option within the fish oil category.
Goals
General Health 65.0
Offers a spectrum of fatty acids from different sources and Vitamin E, contributing broadly to general nutritional support. However, the limited active omega-3s restrict its comprehensive impact compared to more targeted or potent supplements.
Skin Health 60.0
The combination of Flax Oil, Borage Oil (providing GLA), and the modest fish oil content can offer some benefits for skin hydration and integrity, as these fatty acids play roles in skin barrier function.
Heart Health 55.0
While omega-3s are vital for heart health, the combined EPA/DHA content (approx. 240mg) is below commonly recommended therapeutic doses for significant cardiovascular benefits, making its impact for this goal limited.
