NOW Foods Super Omega 3-6-9 1200mg (180 Softgels)
by NOW Foods
"Fish oil + borage oil + flaxseed oil — the complete essential fatty acid blend with omega-3, 6, and 9 in one softgel"
Overview
NOW Super Omega 3-6-9 provides a balanced blend of essential fatty acids from three sources: fish oil (omega-3 EPA/DHA), borage oil (omega-6 GLA), and organic flaxseed oil (omega-3 ALA + omega-9 oleic acid). While most people get excessive omega-6 from diet, the GLA from borage oil is a specific omega-6 (gamma-linolenic acid) that has anti-inflammatory properties — distinct from the pro-inflammatory linoleic acid in seed oils. The 180-softgel count provides a 3-month supply at 2 softgels daily.
