Blends of fish/plant oils.

Omega-6 and omega-9 are usually easy to obtain from the diet, so a blend is not always superior to a targeted omega-3 product.
The evidence varies by goal, and we should not equate marketing with clinical data.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, chronic conditions or medication use are reasons to seek individualized professional advice.
