While small percentages of essential
fatty acids can be obtained from food, the majority of the
population tends to consume far more of the saturated ‘bad’ fats
than essential ‘good’ fats (Omega-3 and -6). NOW Omega 3-6-9 is an
ideally balanced, full-spectrum source of these three “good fats”.
By utilizing high potency Omega-3 from flaxseed and canola, Omega-6
from primrose and black currant and Omega-9 (or Oleic acid, a
non-essential fatty acid) from Canola and Flax, our formula helps
correct this common imbalance, while minimizing any chance of
reoccurring reverse imbalances.*

| What is Omega-3 and what is it good
for? Omega 3 is an essential fatty acid (EFA, also
known as a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA))
Fatty acids are the basis of fats and oils, and, despite
popular belief, are necessary for overall health. These
fatty acids are termed “essential” because your body cannot
manufacture them by itself. EFA’s must come from food or
supplemental sources. They are also essential because they
are a component of every living cell in the body, and are
necessary for rebuilding existing cells and the production
of new cells.
Plant sources such as Flax Oil contain the parent Omega-3
fatty acid called Alpha-linolenic acid that the human body
normally converts to the longer chain EPA/DHA fatty acids
for prostaglandin formation and other cellular needs.
Is your New Omega 3 softgel pharmaceutical
grade?
There is a lot of confusion caused by aggressive
supplement distributors who claim to have a pharmaceutical
grade Omega 3 today. The fact of the matter is that
to date there is NO official USP (United States Pharmacopeia)
monograph that defines the specifications necessary to
qualify Omega 3 oils as pharmaceutical grade here in
the USA. However, there is a voluntary CRN (Council for
Responsible Nutrition) monograph that is being utilized to
define the specifications necessary to qualify a pure Omega
3 product. The CRN Voluntary Monograph has been
submitted to USP for review and publication consideration.
Most experts in the Natural Foods industry agree that the
CRN monograph is the best document available and that it
will most likely be used as the basis for an official USP
Monograph in the near future.
The New Omega 3 softgels meet all
the criteria set forth in the CRN Monograph.
