Overview

NOW Super Omega 3-6-9 provides a balanced blend of omega-3 (from fish oil), omega-6 GLA (from borage oil), and omega-9 (from organic flax oil) in a 1200mg softgel. While most people get excess omega-6, the GLA from borage oil is a specific anti-inflammatory omega-6 that most people are deficient in. The combination provides comprehensive essential fatty acid support. The 180-softgel count provides a 6-month supply.

Who Is This For?

Best For

  • Comprehensive fatty acid support

Our Verdict

8.2/10 — Very Good

The balanced fatty acid approach. The inclusion of GLA from borage oil distinguishes this from pure fish oil — GLA is an anti-inflammatory omega-6 most people lack.
