Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. How long does one bottle last?

At 2 softgels daily, a 100-count bottle lasts 50 days.

2. Is this suitable for vegetarians?

Yes. The oils are plant-based, but the softgel is gelatin (animal-derived). Vegetarians should opt for liquid versions or plant-based capsules.

3. Why combine omega-3, -6, and -9?

• Omega-3 (ALA): Anti-inflammatory, brain/heart support.
• Omega-6 (GLA): Balances hormones, skin health, and nerve function.
• Omega-9 (OA): Supports cardiovascular health and boosts “good” HDL cholesterol.
  Note: Most diets are high in omega-6 (from processed oils), but GLA is rare and highly beneficial.

4. Can I take this with other supplements?

Yes, but avoid high-dose vitamin E or blood-thinning herbs (e.g., garlic) without medical advice.

5. Does it require refrigeration?

No. Store in a cool, dry place (<25°C). Refrigeration extends shelf life but isn’t mandatory.

6. How does this benefit Kenyan users?

• Counters omega-3 deficiency in diets low in fatty fish (common in landlocked regions).
• Addresses skin dryness from Kenya’s climate variability.
• Supports heart health amid rising lifestyle diseases in urban areas.

7. Is it safe for children?

Consult a pediatrician. Children typically require lower doses (e.g., 1 softgel daily).

8. Can I open the softgel and mix with food?

Yes. Add the oil to smoothies, yogurt, or salads if swallowing capsules is difficult.

• Individuals seeking balanced EFA intake (especially vegetarians/vegans).
