Omega Plus
Thorne Research Omega Plus is a fatty acid supplement, primarily featuring omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Each 1-softgel serving provides 300mg of Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and 200mg of Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA), both of which are present at clinically studied dosages. However, the product's Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) content of 40mg is considered underdosed. With an N+ Score of 44 and an 'F' grade, it falls into the below-average tier, despite its 100% label transparency and two clinically dosed ingredients. This product, containing 5 total ingredients, may support general fatty acid intake for those seeking specific omega-3 benefits, but its overall score reflects limitations in its comprehensive formulation.
