Solgar Omega 3-6-9 Fish, Flax, Borage 120 Softgels are a food supplement that combines fish oil, flaxseed oil and borage oil in one softgel. Three softgels a day provide omega-3 fatty acids (EPA, DHA and alpha-linolenic acid), omega-6 fatty acids and omega-9 oleic acid, so one supplement covers all three groups of fatty acids.
**Key Features**
- **Three oils in one softgel:** Three softgels provide 1300 mg each of fish oil, flaxseed oil and borage oil.
- **565 mg EPA and DHA:** Three softgels provide 344 mg EPA and 221 mg DHA. EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart, with the beneficial effect obtained from a daily intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA.
- **Omega-3, 6 and 9 together:** Three softgels also provide 585 mg alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3), 598 mg linoleic acid and 247 mg gamma-linolenic acid (omega-6), and 325 mg oleic acid (omega-9).
- **Molecularly distilled fish oil:** Solgar states that the oil is molecularly distilled to remove mercury, PCBs and other heavy metal contaminants.
- **Free from common additives:** The label states the product is free of gluten, wheat, dairy, yeast, preservatives, sweeteners, and artificial flavours or colours.
### What do omega 3, 6 and 9 mean in this product?
Omega-3 in this product comes from fish oil (EPA and DHA) and flaxseed oil (alpha-linolenic acid). Omega-6 is provided as linoleic acid and gamma-linolenic acid. Omega-9 is provided as oleic acid. Solgar explains that omega-3 and omega-6 are essential fats that the body cannot make, so they need to come from the diet.
### How much EPA and DHA does it contain?
Three softgels, the daily amount, provide 344 mg of EPA and 221 mg of DHA, a total of 565 mg. The EPA and DHA in this product are omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids as ethyl esters.
### Is it suitable for vegetarians, vegans or people with a fish allergy?
No. The oil comes from anchovy, mackerel, herring and sardines, and the softgel shell is made with gelatin from bovine sources. People with a fish allergy should not take it.
### How long does one pack last?
The pack contains 120 softgels. At the daily amount of 3 softgels, one pack lasts 40 days.
