ROOT 2 Plant-Based Omega 3-6-9
ROOT 2 by Vitacost
Overview
The ROOT² Plant-Based Omega 3-6-9 supplement contains a blend of plant-based oils, but the proprietary nature of the blend prevents an accurate assessment of individual ingredient dosages. This makes it impossible to confirm if the included oils are present at clinically effective levels, thus significantly limiting the ability to assess overall efficacy.
The Good
Provides a vegetarian source of omega fatty acids
Includes a variety of organic oils
Flax oil provides alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a precursor to EPA/DHA
The Bad
Lack of specific ingredient dosages prevents efficacy assessment
Omega-6 dominated blend may promote inflammation in some individuals if not balanced by diet
Coconut oil's impact on cholesterol could be a concern for some
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking a plant-based source of omega fatty acids, vegans, vegetarians, or those with fish allergies.
Skip If: You require high doses of pre-formed EPA and DHA and prefer direct marine or algal sources, or if you have known allergies to flaxseed, borage, or olive oil.
