Analysis

The formula provides alpha-linolenic, linoleic, oleic, and several other fatty acids with individual amounts. That disclosure makes the serving easy to assess, but the target oleic and linoleic acid doses are small.

The original oils, extraction methods, and oxidation safeguards are not identified. Those omissions matter for a mixed-oil supplement because freshness and source quality cannot be judged from the label.

It may suit someone seeking a small, broad fatty-acid addition rather than a concentrated omega product. Buyers focused on oleic or linoleic acid can find more direct formulas with stronger active-dose value.

Who is it for
  • People wanting a low-dose mix of several fatty acids
  • Users who value individually listed active amounts
  • Those comfortable with an undisclosed oil source
Best for
  • Broad fatty-acid supplementation
  • Comparing exact fatty-acid amounts
  • Low-intensity daily use

Pros

  • Individual fatty acids are quantified
  • Includes several fatty-acid types
  • Capsule format is easy to portion

Cons

  • Oleic and linoleic acid doses are modest
  • Oil sources and extraction methods are undisclosed
  • Poor value for focused active intake

Nutrient quality

75 High impact

The fatty acids are directly listed, but their source oils and processing are unknown. Targeted linoleic and oleic amounts are modest, while the formula otherwise remains balanced and focused.

.

Ingredient transparency

76 High impact

Every fatty acid has a stated amount and no blend hides the doses. Missing use directions, inactive ingredients, oil sources, and processing details limit full transparency.

.

Customer satisfaction

70 High impact

The available average is very strong, and the moderate sample gives it corresponding weight. No detailed comments were supplied to assess recurring negatives or purpose-specific experiences.

.

Value for money

63 Moderate impact

The broad profile adds some formula value, but the targeted amounts are small. A high serving cost compares poorly with products that disclose source oils and provide larger active amounts.

Report overview
Oleic Acid · 115 mg OverallScore34
F Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityB Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value
The individually listed oleic acid provides a moderate dose with clear label disclosure. The source oil, extraction method, and oxidation safeguards are not identified, leaving important quality details uncertain. Cost per active amount is high for the dose delivered.

Linoleic Acid · 143.1 mg OverallScore22
F Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityD Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value

The clearly listed linoleic acid amount makes the dose easy to verify, but the serving provides only a small amount for targeted use. The oil source, extraction method, and antioxidant protection are not disclosed, leaving important quality and storage questions. Cost efficiency is also weak because little linoleic acid is delivered per serving.

Evening Primrose Oil

Barlean's
A focused evening primrose formula provides far more linoleic acid and adds a meaningful gamma-linolenic acid amount. Oleic acid remains modest, but the target fatty acids are quantified more clearly than in the original.
91 Performance

Organic Hemp Oil

Manitoba Harvest
Organic hemp oil offers a substantially richer polyunsaturated profile than the original. It supplies 8 g linoleic acid, 2 g alpha-linolenic acid, and 420 mg gamma-linolenic acid, though oleic acid is not separately quantified.
87 Performance

Omega 3-6-9 Complete Natural Lemon Flavored!

Country Life
Fish, borage, and flaxseed oils create a more complete omega profile with disclosed EPA, DHA, gamma-linolenic, linoleic, oleic, and alpha-linolenic acids. The serving also adds natural-form vitamin E, while the original leaves its oil sources unidentified.
83 Budget

Omega 3-6-9

Source Naturals
A broader fatty-acid profile improves on the original while keeping routine use more economical. It supplies 498 mg linoleic acid and 435 mg oleic acid, plus EPA, DHA, and gamma-linolenic acid.
75 Budget

Triple Omega Complex 3-6-9

21st Century
A much more budget-focused blend adds fish, flaxseed, and borage oils instead of relying mainly on alpha-linolenic acid. Its disclosed linoleic, oleic, gamma-linolenic, EPA, and DHA amounts provide wider coverage, although each amount is modest.
67 Budget

Oceans Kids DHA Chewables Berry Lime

Garden of Life
A lower-cost chewable slightly improves the disclosed oleic acid amount and adds total omega-3s, vitamin E, and vitamin A. Linoleic acid is not listed, so it is a partial substitute rather than a close fatty-acid match.
88 Value

Borage Oil

Barlean's
A lower serving cost buys stronger amounts of every target fatty acid. The borage oil provides 360 mg linoleic acid, 200 mg gamma-linolenic acid, and 170 mg oleic acid in a simpler formula.
90 Value

Hemp Oil

Manitoba Harvest
Hemp oil delivers substantially more linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid for a favorable serving value. Gamma-linolenic acid reaches 420 mg, although a separate oleic acid amount is not supplied.
78 Value

Triple Omega Complex 3-6-9

21st Century
A low-cost three-oil blend offers broader fatty-acid coverage than the original. Fish, flaxseed, and borage oils provide disclosed EPA, DHA, gamma-linolenic, linoleic, and oleic acids, but the amounts remain moderate.
