Ingredients:
-
Omega-3:
- Flaxseed Oil (Linum usitatissimum, seed): Provides alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) - 99mg
- Molecularly distilled Fish Oil (Anchovy): Provides EPA and DHA - 840mg
- Omega-6: Borage Oil (Borago officinalis, seed): Provides gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) - 58mg
- Omega-9: Borage Oil (Borago officinalis, seed): Provides oleic acid (OA) - 25mg
Claimed Benefits:
- Heart Health: Omega-3s (EPA & DHA) may help lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol and raise HDL ("good") cholesterol, potentially reducing heart disease risk.
- Reduced Inflammation: Omega-3s may have anti-inflammatory effects and benefit conditions like arthritis.
- Skin Health: Omega-3s and GLA (from borage oil) may promote healthy skin and reduce dryness.
Considerations:
- Dosage and Content: The specific benefits depend on the amount of each omega fatty acid (EPA, DHA, ALA, GLA). Unfortunately, Jamieson doesn't readily provide this information online. You'll need to check the product label for the exact amount of each omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 per softgel.
- Limited Evidence for Omega-6/9 Benefits: While omega-3s have strong scientific backing for heart health, the evidence for the specific benefits of omega-6 (GLA) and omega-9 (oleic acid) is less conclusive.
-
Potential Side Effects:
- Fish oil can cause fishy burps or breath in some individuals.
- Borage oil may cause side effects like nausea, diarrhea, or rash, especially at high doses (amounts not specified here).
Recommendations:
- Consult Your Doctor Before Use: This is especially important if you have any underlying health conditions (bleeding disorders, high blood pressure, skin conditions) or take medications that interact with blood clotting or blood pressure (e.g., blood thinners).
- Focus on a Balanced Diet: Include omega-3 rich foods like fatty fish (salmon, tuna, mackerel) in your diet for a natural source of these essential fatty acids.
- Consider Alternative Omega-3 Sources: If you're primarily interested in the heart health benefits of EPA and DHA, fish oil supplements with a higher concentration of these might be a better choice (check the label for EPA and DHA content).
- Follow Dosage Instructions: If your doctor approves this supplement, take it exactly as directed on the label and don't exceed the recommended daily intake without consulting them.
