Not the Same as Fish Oil — And That's the Point
If you've seen "Omega 3-6-9" and assumed it's just a stronger version of a standard fish oil supplement, it's worth clarifying: this is a completely different type of product. Rather than fish-sourced EPA and DHA, NOW Omega 3-6-9 is a plant-based blend of five different oils — Flax Seed, Evening Primrose, Canola, Black Currant, and Pumpkin Seed — delivering a broader spectrum of fatty acids (Omega-3, 6, and 9) that fish oil alone doesn't provide.
This makes it a genuinely different option from our fish oil product, not a replacement or an upgraded version of it.
Why Three Types of Omega Fatty Acids, Not Just One
Omega-3 — commonly associated with heart and brain health support, similar to what fish oil provides, though sourced here from flax seed oil (plant-based ALA rather than fish-based EPA/DHA).
Omega-6 — plays a role in skin health and hormonal balance; Evening Primrose and Black Currant oils are specifically included here for their GLA (Gamma-Linolenic Acid) content, an omega-6 fatty acid associated with skin and hormonal support that standard fish oil doesn't provide at all.
Omega-9 — while your body can produce some omega-9 on its own, dietary sources like canola oil contribute to it as well, and it's commonly associated with supporting healthy cholesterol balance as part of an overall fatty acid profile.
The takeaway: this formula isn't trying to replicate fish oil — it's addressing a broader range of fatty acid needs through plant sources, including some (like GLA) that fish oil simply doesn't cover.
What This Supports
- Skin Health — GLA from Evening Primrose and Black Currant oils is specifically associated with skin hydration and barrier function
- Hormonal Balance — GLA is also commonly associated with supporting normal hormonal balance, particularly relevant for women
- Heart Health — the omega-3 (ALA) and omega-9 content contribute to overall cardiovascular support
- Joint Comfort — the broader fatty acid blend is associated with supporting healthy inflammatory response
- Plant-Based Nutrition — a relevant option for those specifically avoiding fish-derived supplements
Ingredient Breakdown
| Oil Source | Fatty Acid Type | What It Contributes |
|---|---|---|
| Flax Seed Oil | Omega-3 (ALA) | Heart health, general omega-3 support |
| Evening Primrose Oil | Omega-6 (GLA) | Skin health, hormonal balance |
| Black Currant Oil | Omega-6 (GLA) | Skin health, hormonal balance |
| Canola Oil | Omega-9 + additional Omega-3/6 | Cholesterol balance support |
| Pumpkin Seed Oil | Mixed fatty acid profile | General nutritional support |
(Exact mg breakdown per fatty acid type is listed on the product label — please check your specific bottle for the complete current formulation.)
Suggested Use
Take as directed on the label — typically 1-2 softgels daily, with a meal, to support absorption. Since this is a multi-oil blend rather than a single-source supplement, consistency in daily use matters for the gradual skin and hormonal-balance benefits some users report.
Fish Oil vs. Omega 3-6-9 — Which Should You Choose?
| Feature | Nature's Bounty Fish Oil | NOW Omega 3-6-9 (This Product) |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Fish (EPA & DHA) | Plant-based (Flax, Evening Primrose, Canola, Black Currant, Pumpkin Seed) |
| Fatty Acid Types | Omega-3 only | Omega-3, 6, and 9 |
| Skin/Hormonal Support | Not a primary focus | Yes — via GLA content, a key differentiator |
| Best For | Heart & brain health as primary goals | Broader coverage including skin, hormonal balance, plus general heart support |
| Suitable For Those Avoiding Fish | No | Yes — fully plant-based |
If heart and brain health are your main priority, fish oil's concentrated EPA/DHA is typically the more targeted choice. If you're specifically interested in skin health, hormonal balance, or want a plant-based option, this broader Omega 3-6-9 blend is the better fit.
