Our multiple award-winning Udo’s Oil® 3·6·9 Blend is a mix of plant-based, unrefined, certified organic food oils. It provides people who care about health with a reliable, undamaged source of polyunsaturated omega-3 and -6 essential fatty acids (or EFAs) and monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acids, which are all excellent sources of energy, fat-soluble vitamins and other key nutrients, and are important components of all membranes of the trillions of cells in the body.
Our multiple award-winning Udo’s Oil® 3·6·9 Blend is a mix of plant-based, unrefined, certified organic food oils.

Udo’s pioneering work in the field of ‘good fats’ started in the 1980s. To make this oil blend ‘with health in mind’, we designed special machinery that excludes light, oxygen, and heat, the three factors that turn healthy EFA-rich oils into unhealthy, toxic ones.(4,5,6) This is also why you will always find Udo’s Oil® 3·6·9 Blend in a brown glass bottle, in a protective box, in the cooler of the supplement or produce section of your local natural foods store or supermarket. Instead of packaging our fresh, carefully made oils in plastic — which comes with health concerns — we chose to package Udo’s Oil® 3·6·9 Blend in glass. And, because we understand the critical role a balanced ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 plays in health, we blended Udo’s Oil with a ratio of 2:1. No other company makes oils with the same level of care we do.
EFAs are required for health and normal development at all stages of the human life cycle, which means this oil blend is made for everyone. EFAs support the natural functioning of cells, tissues, glands, and organs and, as a result, support healthy cardiovascular, brain and nerve function, and much more. It is also designed for anyone who:
- is not getting enough undamaged EFAs — especially omega-3s — from whole foods;
- consumes too many damaged omega-6s;
- is vegan or leans toward a plant-based diet;
- wants to get a wider, more complete range of unrefined fat/oil sources into their diet;
- values environmentally-sustainable sources of unsaturated healthy fats/oils;
- is concerned about the questions of efficacy, toxicity, and/or sustainability surrounding fish oil pill sources of omega-3s;
- suffers from dry skin;
- is experiencing omega-3 or omega-6 deficiency symptoms.*
In addition to addressing the above needs, the DHA version of Udo’s Oil® 3·6·9 Blend was also designed for anyone who would benefit from added DHA in their diet, including pregnant and breast-feeding women, aging adults, and people seeking additional cognitive function support and eye health support;
The High Lignan version of Udo’s Oil® 3·6·9 Blend was designed for anyone who is looking for more dietary sources of antioxidants, natural substances which may delay or prevent some of the potential damaging effects of oxidation on human cells.
The gel capsule form of the original oil blend was designed specifically for anyone who is traveling and/or on-the-go and requires a ‘maintenance’ supplement of omega fats that does not require refrigeration, or people who are particularly averse to taking oils (as an alternative to the liquid form). Keep in mind that you would have to take 14 capsules to get the equivalent of what one tablespoon of the liquid form would provide.

The key ingredients in this proprietary blend include organic flax, sesame, and sunflower seed oils, organic coconut and evening primrose oils, organic rice and oat germ oils, and mixed tocopherols (including vitamin E).
The DHA version includes plant-based preformed DHA omega-3s, derived from algae (where the fish get it from). The High Lignan version includes antioxidant-rich lignans.
The cloudy layer in the oil is common with unrefined oils, where natural and health-supporting molecules are preserved, rather than being filtered out. To make the most of their benefits, gently shake the bottle before each use.
We deliberately formulated Udo’s Oil® 3·6·9 Blend to be richer in omega-3s than omega-6s to address the widespread omega-3 deficiency in most people’s diets and to replace the damaged omega-6s that are overabundant in Western diets.(7)
For best results: Take 1 tablespoon or more per day, mixed into foods or blended into smoothies, with intake spread out over the course of the day. For optimal benefits, take about 1 tablespoon per 50 pounds of body weight per day. An adult weighing 150 pounds would take about 3 tablespoons per day, and a child weighing 25 pounds would take about ½ a tablespoon per day. This recommendation applies to all three of the Udo’s Oil 3·6·9 Blend formulas (the original, DHA, and High Lignan).
