HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Omega 3/6/9 Junior Lemon Flavor by NaturesPlus Animal Parade

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 8 of its 8 active ingredients.
  • “Total Omega-3 Fatty Acids” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (305 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “Total Omega-6 Fatty Acids” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (150 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “Total Omega-9 Fatty Acids” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (120 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product has 8 active ingredients: a blend of omega-3 (eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid), omega-6 (gamma-linolenic acid and linoleic acid), and omega-9 fatty acids (oleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid), plus monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. These are essential fatty acids your body needs for heart, brain, and cell health — the kind you normally get from fish oil, nuts, and plant oils.

The inactive ingredients are gelatin, glycerin, lemon oil for flavor, purified water, xylitol, and maltitol.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: brain and heart support for children.
  • We looked for evidence on: Coronary heart disease (CHD), Hypertension, Hypercholesterolemia, Stroke, cognitive development, cardiovascular health — and 2 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Oleic Acid is rated "Possibly Effective" for Coronary heart disease (CHD) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Oleic Acid is rated "Possibly Effective" for Hypercholesterolemia.
  • Also on file: Oleic Acid is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Hypertension, Stroke.

Oleic acid, one of the fatty acids in this blend, is rated possibly effective for high cholesterol and coronary heart disease based on the evidence we hold. For the other six active ingredients in this product, effectiveness data isn't available in our records, so we can't speak to what they're known to help with.

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Oleic acid from food sources like olive oil is generally recognized as safe in normal amounts. However, the safety data on supplement-level doses — the kind in this product — isn't well established for pregnancy or breastfeeding.

There are no reported adverse effects on file for the ingredients we reviewed.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Oleic Acid.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 86 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Antidiabetes drugs (blood sugar medications) — oleic acid in this blend may increase their effect and lower blood sugar more than expected. Check with your pharmacist before starting if your child takes any diabetes medication.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

This product may help support heart and cholesterol health if you're looking for an omega blend for a child. If your child takes any medication to lower blood sugar, check with your pharmacist first — this product could make those drugs work stronger.
