Solgar Vitamins Omega 3-6-9 Softgels, a blend of high-quality oils from fish, flax and borage providing a comprehensive fatty acid profile.
Fatty acids which are derived from fish, flaxseed and borage oils. These essential fats are required for several physiological functions and need to be part of our diet as the body cannot make them on its own.

- Specially formulated ratio of Omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids
- Sourced from anchovy, mackerel and sardines
- Molecularly distilled to remove mercury, PCBs and other heavy metal contaminants

What are the different Omega's?
- Omega 3 consists of EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid). These are commonly found in oily fish such as sardines, mackerel and salmon. It also includes ALA (Alpha-linolenic Acid), which fish naturally convert to the all-important EPA and DHA, but our bodies can only convert small amounts.
- Omega 6 is made up from Linoleic Acid and Gamma-Linolenic Acid, and can be found in several oils and nuts.
- Omega 9 can naturally be found in food which contains Oleic Acid such as nuts and oils.
Directions: As a food supplement, adults take three (3) softgels daily, preferably at mealtime, or as directed by your healthcare professional. Do not exceed the daily dose.

Do you have to be careful with fish oils?
Fish oils are susceptible to different contaminants as these are often present in the food fish consume. Contaminants are often present at the very bottom of the aquatic food chain in marine organisms in the sediments of fresh and ocean water. To ensure purity and safety, Solgar's Omega 3-6-9 uses oil that has been molecularly distilled to remove mercury, PCBs and other heavy metal contaminants.
