Omega 3-6-9 is a blend of Flax Seed, Canola, Primrose, Black Currant and Pumpkin Seed oils. This combination of well-known nutritional oils provides a unique balance of Omega-3 and Omega-6 Essential Fatty Acids, plus Omega-9, a non-essential, but beneficial fatty acid.
The Omega-3’s Alpha Linolenic Acid, EPA and DHA, and Omega-6: GLA are necessary for the maintenance of cardiovascular, nervous system and skin health. Oleic Acid, an Omega-9 oil, is not considered “essential” because of our body can produce it in small amounts, but only if adequate Omega-3 and Omega-6 are present.
Serving Size: 2 Softgels
Each serving typically contains:
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids: 900 mg
- Omega-6 Fatty Acids: 530 mg

Organic Flax Seed Oil (cold pressed) 1400 mg: One of the greatest plant discoveries of the past five hundred years. Used extensively by Dr Ludwig in her German cancer clinic with profound results. The flax plant has massively high “lignan” content of Omega 3 Fatty Acids. Used as a salad dressing in food preparation can bring bountiful health for the heart, the brain and the entire cellular system.
Canola Oil (cold pressed) 260 mg: Second only to Flax Seed Oil, Canola is the next highest vegetable source of the essential Omega-3 Fatty Acids.
Evening Primrose Oil (cold pressed) 300 mg, Black Currant Oil 20 mg, Pumpkin Seed Oil 20 mg: Omega-6 is found in these plants and Pumpkin seeds. Omega-6 fatty acids are necessary for the maintenance of the cardiovascular system, the nervous system and for skin health.
Can i use omega 3/6/9 if I have a fish allergy?
Michelle, this is a very good question. This remarkable formula is classified as “Vegan” which means no animal sourced ingredients are used. Thus, it has no fish oil and no chance of any Mercury or fish allergy problems.
It contains Flax Seed Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Black Currant Oil, Pumpkin Seed Oil and Canola Oil and the ratios of the Omega 3, 6 and 9 are in the precise balance to provide maximum benefit to the heart, the brain and the cells.
I never miss a day of taking this essential nutrient.

Dr. Garland,
Why is Canola oil used? I thought Canola oil was a GMO entity from Canada?
I did notice the Omega 3-6-9 ratio was pretty close to 2:1:1 which is good.
Thanks,
