Natural Vitamin E (D-alpha-tocopherol) is specifically included as a protective antioxidant for polyunsaturated fatty acids against lipid peroxidation, preserving the integrity and potency of the oils until consumption. Dosage: 1 softgel twice a day with meals. Available in 120 and 150 softgels. Contains gelatin (not vegan) and fish oil (not suitable for strict vegetarians).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFull spectrum coverage of essential and semi-essential polyunsaturated fatty acids in a single formula:\u003c\/strong\u003e The human body cannot endogenously synthesize essential fatty acids (ALA and linoleic acid), which must be supplied through diet or supplementation. In addition to essential fatty acids, DHA, EPA, and GLA, while technically synthesizable from essential precursors, are often referred to as \"conditionally essential\" given that the efficiency of endogenous conversion is very limited: the conversion of ALA to EPA and DHA in the human body has an efficiency of less than 5%, making direct supplementation of these long-chain forms practically necessary to achieve plasma levels associated with the benefits documented in clinical studies. The Omega 3-6-9 1000 mg formula directly provides EPA, DHA, GLA, and ALA, avoiding reliance on limited endogenous conversion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEPA and DHA from fish oil: EFSA approved health claims for heart, brain, and vision:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fish oil (18% EPA + 12% DHA) is the source of the two long-chain omega 3 fatty acids with the strongest clinical evidence base and EFSA approved health claims. EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function (effect obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA). DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function (effect obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg of DHA). DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision (effect obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg of DHA). DHA and EPA contribute to the maintenance of normal blood triglyceride levels (effect obtained with a daily intake of 3 g of EPA and DHA). EPA and DHA contribute to the maintenance of normal blood pressure (effect obtained with a daily intake of 3 g of EPA and DHA). Maternal intake of DHA contributes to the normal brain and visual development of the fetus and breastfed infant. Each daily dose of 2 softgels provides 360 mg of EPA + 240 mg of DHA = 600 mg total EPA+DHA, comfortably covering the minimum effective doses for heart, brain, and vision claims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlaxseed oil: plant-based ALA omega 3 and the only EFSA-declared essential omega 3 fatty acid for cholesterol:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flaxseed oil (Linum usitatissimum) is the source of ALA (alpha-linolenic acid, C18:3 n-3), the plant-based essential omega 3 fatty acid. ALA has a specific EFSA-approved health claim, different from those of EPA and DHA: ALA contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels (effect obtained with a daily intake of 2 g of ALA). In addition to ALA, flaxseed oil contains linoleic acid (omega 6) and oleic acid (omega 9, the same predominant monounsaturated fatty acid in olive oil), broadening the spectrum of fatty acids in the formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGLA from evening primrose oil: the rarest long-chain omega 6 fatty acid in the Western diet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evening primrose oil (Oenothera biennis) is the source of GLA (gamma-linolenic acid, C18:3 n-6), standardized to 10% GLA. GLA is a long-chain omega 6 fatty acid that differs from linoleic acid (the most common omega 6 in the diet) by being in the second stage of the omega 6 elongation\/desaturation pathway, already after the action of the delta-6-desaturase enzyme. This enzyme often has reduced activity in contexts of chronic inflammation, zinc and magnesium deficiency, high intake of saturated and trans fats, and aging, making direct supplementation with GLA particularly relevant in these situations. GLA is the precursor of DGLA (dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid), which in turn is a precursor of series-1 prostaglandins (PGE1), which have anti-inflammatory, vasodilatory, and anti-platelet aggregation properties that complement the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of EPA (which is a precursor of series-3 prostaglandins and resolvins\/protectins). GLA has specific clinical evidence bases for supporting skin health (atopic dermatitis, acne), premenstrual syndrome, and rheumatoid arthritis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNatural Vitamin E (D-alpha-tocopherol): essential antioxidant to protect polyunsaturated oils from oxidation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are inherently chemically unstable due to their multiple double bonds, which are highly susceptible to lipid peroxidation by free radicals. This instability increases with the degree of unsaturation: DHA (6 double bonds) is significantly more oxidizable than EPA (5 double bonds), which is more oxidizable than ALA (3 double bonds). Rancid (oxidized) omega 3 oil not only loses its beneficial properties but can also produce lipid peroxidation products (aldehydes, malondialdehyde) with pro-oxidant and pro-inflammatory potential. Natural Vitamin E (D-alpha-tocopherol) is the main fat-soluble antioxidant in cell membranes and is especially effective in protecting PUFA: it incorporates into lipid membranes and oil droplets, interrupting free radical peroxidation chains before they cause extensive degradation of fatty acids. Its inclusion in the formula is essential to ensure the stability of the oils throughout the product's shelf life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe omega 3\/omega 6 ratio in the Western diet: why combined supplementation is relevant:\u003c\/strong\u003e The contemporary Western diet has an omega 6\/omega 3 ratio typically between 15:1 and 20:1, much higher than the 1:1 to 4:1 ratio that researchers associate with lower chronic inflammation and lower cardiovascular risk. This imbalance results from the very high consumption of vegetable oils rich in linoleic acid (soy, sunflower, corn, which predominate in processed foods) and low intake of fatty fish. Excess omega 6 (especially linoleic acid) competes with omega 3 for the same delta-6-desaturase enzyme, reducing the endogenous synthesis of EPA and DHA from ALA. HSN's Omega 3-6-9 1000 mg helps increase the intake of EPA and DHA (the most biologically active long-chain omega 3s) and GLA (which, unlike linoleic acid, has preferentially anti-inflammatory effects).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eUsage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended dose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Take 1 softgel twice a day with meals (total: 2 softgels\/day). Taking with meals containing other lipids (dietary fats) significantly improves the absorption of polyunsaturated fatty acids, as the presence of dietary fat stimulates the secretion of bile and pancreatic lipases necessary for the emulsification and absorption of the softgels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e After opening, store in a cool place (below 25°C), dry, and dark to preserve the stability of the oils.
