Omega 3, 6, 9 - 60 Softgels

What Is Omega 3-6-9?

Omega 3-6-9 is a single softgel that combines three families of fatty acids: omega-3 (EPA, DHA, and plant-based ALA), omega-6 (linoleic acid), and omega-9 (oleic acid). Remedy's Nutrition® Omega 3, 6, 9 delivers all three from cold-pressed fish, flaxseed, and borage oils in a 60-softgel bottle, a roughly two-month supply at one daily softgel.

The three numbers describe where the first double bond sits on the fat molecule—the 3rd, 6th, or 9th carbon. That small structural difference changes how each fat behaves in the body. Only omega-3 and omega-6 are truly essential, meaning you must get them from food; omega-9 is non-essential because your body can make oleic acid on its own.[1]Omega-3 PUFAs and Health Benefits — Annual Review of Food Science and Technology (2018) View source

If you want the full breakdown of how the three families differ and who actually benefits from a combined formula, our guide to omega 3-6-9 explained walks through each one in plain language.

Omega-3 vs Omega-6 vs Omega-9: The Honest Difference

Not all three fats are in short supply. This is the single most important thing to understand before buying any 3-6-9 product. Omega-3 (especially marine EPA and DHA) is the one most diets fall short on, while omega-6 and omega-9 are already abundant in the typical Western diet from seed oils, nuts, and olive oil.[2]Omega-6 to Omega-3 Ratio — Nutrients (2016) View source

Research focuses less on getting more omega-6 and -9 and more on improving the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio, which has shifted heavily toward omega-6 in modern diets.[3]Low Omega-6/Omega-3 Ratio — Missouri Medicine (2021) View source So why take a 3-6-9 blend at all? Convenience and completeness. It is a sensible single-capsule choice for very-low-fat diets, for people who want a broad fatty-acid base, or for anyone who prefers one softgel over separate bottles. The goal of this page is to be honest about that: a 3-6-9 product is a reasonable foundational supplement, not a magic bullet, and the part of it that the research cares most about is the omega-3 fraction.

Who a 3-6-9 Blend Suits—and Who Should Pick Fish Oil

A 3-6-9 formula fits people who want a convenient, all-in-one fatty-acid supplement and may eat little dietary fat. If your main goal is the well-studied benefits of marine omega-3—EPA and DHA for triglycerides, heart, and brain—a dedicated fish oil usually delivers more of those specific fats per capsule.

• Choose 3-6-9 if you want broad coverage, follow a very-low-fat diet, or prefer one daily softgel
• Choose dedicated fish oil if you specifically want maximum EPA and DHA per dose
• Either works as a foundational supplement alongside a balanced diet

Omega 3-6-9 Benefits: What Research Shows

The clearest, most reproducible omega-3 benefit is lowering blood triglycerides, an effect that is dose-dependent.[4]Omega-3 and Triglycerides Meta-Analysis — Medicine (2023) View source EPA and DHA also support normal anti-inflammatory signaling and are structural components of cell membranes, including in the brain and eyes.[5]EPA and DHA Across the Lifespan — Advances in Nutrition (2012) View source

It is important to be honest about heart-disease prevention. While prescription high-dose EPA reduced cardiovascular events in high-triglyceride patients on statins,[6]REDUCE-IT: Icosapent Ethyl and CV Risk — New England Journal of Medicine (2019) View source large trials of everyday omega-3 supplements found little or no effect on heart events for most healthy adults.[7]Omega-3 for CVD Prevention — Cochrane Review (2020) View source An over-the-counter softgel is a dietary supplement, not a substitute for medical therapy. Our breakdown of fish oil benefits and what research shows covers this nuance in full.

How Omega Fatty Acids Work in the Body

Omega fatty acids are incorporated into the phospholipid layer of every cell membrane, where they influence flexibility, signaling, and the production of regulatory molecules. EPA and DHA serve as precursors to specialized mediators that help resolve inflammation rather than amplify it.[8]Omega-3 and Inflammation — Biochemical Society Transactions (2017) View source ALA, the plant omega-3 in flaxseed, can convert into EPA and DHA, but in humans that conversion is limited, which is why marine sources remain the most direct way to raise EPA and DHA levels.

What's Inside Remedy's Omega 3-6-9 Blend

Each cold-pressed softgel combines marine and plant oils so you get all three fatty-acid families plus a vitamin E antioxidant in one capsule. Deep-sea fish oil supplies EPA and DHA, flaxseed oil adds plant-based ALA, and borage oil contributes omega-6 linoleic and gamma-linolenic acids.

• Deep-sea fish oil — EPA and DHA, the marine omega-3s
• Flaxseed oil — ALA, plant-based omega-3
• Borage seed oil — linoleic and gamma-linolenic acid (omega-6)
• Oleic acid — omega-9 fatty acid
• Vitamin E — fat-soluble antioxidant that helps protect the oils

The vitamin E matters more than it looks. Fish and seed oils can oxidize and go rancid over time, so a built-in antioxidant plus cold-pressed, hexane-free processing helps keep the oils fresh in the bottle.[9]Over-Oxidized Fish Oils — Foods (2020) View source

Combining 3 oils in 1 softgel is also a practical formulation choice. Rather than swallowing separate fish, flax, and borage capsules, you get marine and plant fatty acids together, which suits anyone who prefers a single daily step in their routine. The trade-off is that a blended softgel spreads its content across all 3 families, so the EPA and DHA share per capsule is naturally lower than in a dedicated fish-oil softgel of the same size.

Why Choose Remedy's Omega 3-6-9

This formula is built for purity and convenience: a single cold-pressed softgel covering all three fatty-acid families, with no fillers and a 60-count bottle that lasts about two months at one per day.

Omega 3-6-9 Dosage and How to Take It

The standard serving is one softgel daily, taken with or without food, in the morning or evening. Because omega fatty acids are fat-soluble, taking the softgel alongside a meal containing some fat can support absorption.[10]Omega-3 Bioavailability Review — Progress in Lipid Research (2014) View source

Safety and Drug Interactions

Omega 3-6-9 softgels are well tolerated by most adults. The most common complaints are mild and digestive—stomach upset, nausea, loose stools, or a fishy aftertaste—which usually ease when the softgel is taken with food.

Reassuringly, one study found fish oil did not significantly change INR or bleeding in people taking warfarin—but you should still review any supplement with the prescriber who manages your medication.[11]Fish Oil with Warfarin and Bleeding — Nutrients (2016) View source
