Triple Omega 3-6-9
Puritan's Pride
Overview
This product contains a 'Triple Omega 3-6-9 Proprietary Blend' totaling 3000 mg, which includes organic flaxseed oil, Ester-Omega fish oil, borage seed oil, and evening primrose oil. While the total amounts of Omega-3 (970 mg), Omega-6 (303 mg), and Omega-9 (266 mg) fatty acids are listed, the individual quantities of each source oil within the proprietary blend are not disclosed. This lack of transparency makes it difficult to ascertain if the product provides optimal or clinically effective doses of key components like EPA and DHA from fish oil, or GLA from borage and evening primrose oils, which are crucial for assessing efficacy against specific health claims.
