Omega 3-6-9 1000 mg by NOW is a comprehensive blend of essential fatty acids derived from flax seed, evening primrose, canola, black currant, and pumpkin seed oils. This multi-source formula is designed to promote cardiovascular function and support the maintenance of healthy skin and joint tissues.
Key Benefits of Omega 3-6-9 Fatty Acids
- Cardiovascular Support: Omega-3 ALA promotes healthy cardiovascular function and supports normal triglyceride levels already within range.
- Cellular Membrane Integrity: Essential fatty acids maintain the structural integrity of cell membranes, supporting efficient nutrient transport and cellular communication.
- Inflammatory Response Balance: GLA (Gamma-Linolenic Acid) from Evening Primrose and Borage oils supports a healthy inflammatory response at the cellular level.
- Skin & Coat Health: Omega-6 fatty acids promote healthy skin barrier function and support moisture retention.
- Brain & Cognitive Function: Omega-3 fatty acids support normal neurological function and maintain healthy cognitive performance.
- Joint Comfort & Mobility: Balanced fatty acid intake supports joint lubrication and promotes comfortable mobility.
Unlike single-source fish oil supplements, this tri-blend formula provides Omega-3 from Flaxseed Oil, Omega-6 from Evening Primrose and Borage Oils, and Omega-9 from Olive Oil — delivering a synergistic fatty acid profile that mirrors the diversity found in a whole-food Mediterranean-style diet. The combination of ALA, LA, GLA, and OA supports the body's endogenous fatty acid conversion pathways more comprehensively than isolated sources alone. Each softgel is cold-pressed and minimally processed to preserve fatty acid integrity and bioavailability.
