Triple Omega 3-6-9
Puritan's Pride
Overview
The Puritan's Pride Triple Omega 3-6-9 provides a blend of essential and non-essential fatty acids known for their roles in cardiovascular health and anti-inflammatory processes. While the overall blend is beneficial, the proprietary nature means the exact dosages of individual oils (flaxseed, fish, borage, evening primrose) are not fully disclosed, making it difficult to assess if each component reaches its optimal therapeutic dose for specific benefits, particularly for components like EPA and DHA from fish oil.
The Good
Comprehensive Omega fatty acid support (3, 6, 9) from diverse sources.
Omega-3s (EPA/DHA) are well-researched for cardiovascular health and triglyceride reduction.
Includes plant-based Omega-3 (ALA) from Flaxseed Oil, beneficial for cholesterol and inflammation.
The Bad
Proprietary blend (Triple Omega 3, 6, 9 Blend) obscures specific dosages of individual oils (Flaxseed, Fish, Borage, Evening Primrose Oils), making it hard to confirm optimal dosing.
Total Omega-3s (970mg) may be underdosed for significant therapeutic effects in some cardiovascular conditions.
Evening Primrose Oil, while a source of GLA, lacks strong, consistent evidence for many general health claims beyond potential cervical ripening (which is not a marketed benefit here) and may not contribute significantly to the overall benefit for most users.
Is it for you?
