Fish oil typically contains minimal amounts of omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids. If a company were to add dietarily significant amounts of these nutrients to a fish oil supplement, the size and/or number of capsules would have to be increased.

In addition, omega-6 fatty acids tend to be more prevalent in the diet than omega-3's, and while omega-9 fatty acids are beneficial and healthy they are not considered "essential" (since the human body is capable of synthesizing them).

For consumers interested in a balanced omega 3-6-9 product, a plant-based product like OptOmega would be more appropriate. The flaxseed oil in OptOmega provides substantial omega-3's, and the combination of other oils provides both omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids. OptOmega is also a good option for vegetarians and those with fish allergies.

BiOmega, on the other hand, is less of a "basic" omega fatty acid product and more of a specific (or targeted) product especially useful in cardiovascular health.
