Contents
1 - Why Choose Vitadefence Omega 3-6-9 Multi with Fish, Flaxseed & Sunflower Oil?
Essential fatty acids are just that—essential. Your body cannot produce them, so you must obtain them from your diet or supplementation. EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart (with a daily intake of 250 mg EPA and DHA). Our Omega 3-6-9 Multi combines fish oil, organic flaxseed oil and sunflower seed oil with vitamin E.
2 - Understanding Omega 3-6-9
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: The Star Players
Omega-3s, particularly EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), are among the most researched nutrients in nutritional science.
EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function* *Beneficial effects are obtained with a daily intake of at least 250mg DHA and EPA
DHA contributes to:
- Normal brain function - Essential for cognitive health*
- Maintenance of normal vision - Supports eye health* *Beneficial effects obtained with a daily intake of 250mg DHA
Our formula provides:
- EPA: 60mg per capsule
- DHA: 35mg per capsule
- Total Omega-3: 250mg per capsule
At the standard dose of 3 capsules daily, you receive 285mg of combined EPA and DHA, exceeding the threshold for beneficial effects on heart function.
Omega-6 Fatty Acids: The Supporting Role
Omega-6 fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid (LA), are also essential. Our formula provides 225mg of Omega-6 per capsule, primarily from sunflower seed oil.
Linoleic Acid (165mg per capsule) is the predominant omega-6 in our formula.
Omega-9 Fatty Acids: The Conditionally Essential
Our formula provides 150mg of Omega-9 per capsule.
Oleic Acid (100mg per capsule) is the main omega-9, found abundantly in the sunflower seed oil component.
Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA): The Plant-Based Omega-3
Each capsule provides 135 mg ALA from organic flaxseed oil.
Our formula provides 135mg of ALA per capsule from organic flaxseed oil.

4 - The Triple-Oil Advantage
Fish Oil: The Omega-3 Powerhouse
Our fish oil provides EPA and DHA—the long-chain omega-3s that your body uses directly. Fish oil provides EPA and DHA.
Organic Flaxseed Oil: The Plant-Based Omega-3
Flaxseed oil (from Linum usitatissimum) is one of the richest plant sources of ALA. This omega-3 is particularly valuable for:
- Those seeking plant-based omega-3 sources alongside fish oil
- Providing the building blocks for EPA and DHA (though conversion is limited)
Our organic, cold-pressed flaxseed oil ensures premium quality.
Sunflower Seed Oil: The Omega-6 and Omega-9 Source
Sunflower seed oil (from Helianthus annuus) provides:
- Linoleic acid (omega-6)
- Oleic acid (omega-9)
- Natural vitamin E
This balanced oil complements the omega-3s from fish and flax.
5 - Vitamin E: The Protector
Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress
At 6.7mg (56% NRV) per capsule, vitamin E serves dual purposes:
- Acts as an antioxidant to protect the delicate fatty acids from oxidation
The vitamin E is d-alpha-tocopherol.

Each capsule provides 35 mg DHA.14 - Frequently Asked Questions
Why combine omega-3, 6, and 9?The ratio matters.
Should I take this if I eat fish regularly? If you consume fatty fish 3+ times weekly, you may already get adequate EPA and DHA.
Can I take this with blood thinners? Omega-3s can affect blood clotting. Consult your doctor before combining with anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications.
Why is there a warning for people with epilepsy? Some research has suggested potential interactions between omega-3 supplementation and epilepsy medications, though findings are mixed. Out of caution, consultation with a doctor is recommended.
Is the fish oil tested for contaminants? High-quality fish oil should be tested for heavy metals, PCBs, and other contaminants. Made in the UK to GMP quality standards.
Why gelatin capsules instead of vegan alternatives? Gelatin provides a stable, traditional capsule material that's particularly suited for oil-based supplements. However, this does mean the product isn't suitable for vegetarians or vegans.
Can children take this? This product is formulated for adults. Consult a pediatrician before giving omega supplements to children, who often need different dosages.
What's the difference between ALA and EPA/DHA?ALA is converted to EPA and DHA in the body only in small amounts. EPA and DHA from fish oil are ready to use directly.
How long until I notice benefits? This varies by individual and what benefits you're seeking. Some people notice changes within weeks, while building optimal tissue levels of omega-3s takes several months of consistent supplementation.
Should I take this if I'm vegetarian? This product contains fish oil and gelatin, making it unsuitable for vegetarians. Consider algae-based omega-3 supplements or our other plant-based formulas instead.
