Nature’s Harmony® Omega 3-6-9 is a rich source of essential fatty acids. This unique formulation combines the oils from cold-water fi sh, fl ax seed and borage into one easy-to-take softgel capsule. With the wide-ranging actions of essential fatty acids in the body, Omega 3-6-9 offers signifi cant benefi ts for a number of health conditions.

The body needs the right balance of essential fatty acids every day in order to function at its best. Often diet alone can provide too much of one essential fatty acid (EFA) and not enough of another. Typical Western diets tend to be much higher in omega-6 fatty acids than omega-3 fatty acids. Nature’s Harmony® Omega 3-6-9 can help strike the right balance with 400 mg of each type of oil.

Nature’s Harmony® Omega 3-6-9 is a rich source of the omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are found in the oils of cold-water fi sh. In addition, it contains borage oil, an excellent source of gamma-linolenic acid (omega-6). The fl ax seed oil provides alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3), linoleic acid (omega-6) and oleic acid (omega-9).

The oil in Nature’s Harmony® Omega 3-6-9 is extracted naturally without the use of hexane or other chemical solvents and cold pressed to prevent nutrient loss during processing.

Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are used by the body to produce eicosanoids, which are potent substances that help maintain healthy blood, decrease cholesterol levels and reduce inflammation.

Omega-3 fatty acids are also important elements of healthy brain and nerve cell membranes. Omega-3 fatty acids can help keep blood triglyceride levels low (high triglycerides are associated with increased risk of heart disease), decrease cholesterol production in the liver and inhibit the progression of arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). The addition of LNA from flax oil and GLA from borage oil ensures that the supplement offers a premium combination of the necessary essential fatty acids.
