Because of the massive amount of vegetable oil that modern diets contain, I can't conceive of any reason to take a supplement that contains omega-6, with one exception. That's gamma-linolenic acid, which is anti-inflammatory. Preferential use of olive oil would cover any omega-9 intake. That leaves omega-3, and the alpha-linolenic acid in this supp is not going to do much for your heart. ALA is not efficiently converted to EPA and DHA, the heart-healthy long-chain omega-3s. Fish and/or fish oil and/or algae-derived oils are the only reliable sources, now that the meat supply is grain-fed.

Recent work has shown that ALA -> DHA conversion is less than 0.1%.
