What is the difference between omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9?
Omega-3 fatty acids include EPA and DHA, which are found in oily fish, and ALA, which comes from flaxseed. Omega-6 fatty acids come from linoleic acid and gamma-linolenic acid, found in several oils and nuts. Omega-9 fatty acids include oleic acid, found in foods such as nuts and oils. Solgar says the ratio between omega-3 and omega-6 is important, and this formula provides a higher ratio of omega-3.
Which fish are used in Solgar Omega 3-6-9?
The fish oil comes from anchovy, mackerel, herring and sardines.
Is Solgar Omega 3-6-9 suitable for vegetarians?
No. It contains fish oil, and the softgel shell is made from gelatin from bovine (cattle) sources.
