HelloPharmacist Scorecard of PureOmega by North American Herb & Spice

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

Partial disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Partial

Most active ingredients list an amount, but at least one is hidden in a blend or missing.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 5 of its 6 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (3,360 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “Omega-3s” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (1,600 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “Sacha Inchi Oil” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

PureOmega is a 6-ingredient liquid formula built around omega fatty acids and oils. The active ingredients include wild rosemary oil (an herbal extract), along with other omega-3 and omega-6 components: Sacha Inchi Oil, Alpha-Linolenic Acid, and several other omega-based compounds.

These are all fatty acids and plant oils meant to provide nutritional support. The product contains no inactive ingredients listed.

Does it work?

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
Not assessable

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: supports healthy skin, hair, and nails.
  • We looked for evidence on: skin health, hair health, nail health.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

Rosemary has been rated possibly effective for memory support. The other active ingredients — the omega-3 and omega-6 compounds — don't have effectiveness ratings in our data.

For the remaining components we could not check (Other Omega-3s, Omega-6s, Alpha-Linolenic Acid, Linolenic, and Other Omega-6s), the evidence isn't established in the data we hold.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Rosemary

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 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.

Rosemary is safe in normal culinary amounts, but concentrated extracts and undiluted essential oil require caution. In pregnancy, food amounts are likely fine, but medicinal or large doses are possibly unsafe — the safety data advises against it.

For breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety data on medicinal doses, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product. Topical or concentrated use of rosemary oil can cause allergic reactions, lip and gum swelling if used in the mouth, and contact dermatitis on the skin.

The undiluted oil and its camphor constituent might trigger seizures. Occupational asthma has been reported with rosemary and other aromatic herbs.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Rosemary

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 — Rosemary.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 372 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.

Before taking PureOmega, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners (anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs) — rosemary raises the risk of bleeding. Also flag it if you're on diabetes medications (risk of low blood sugar), aspirin, choline magnesium trisalicylate, salsalate, or medications that rely on the liver enzyme CYP1A2.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glancePartially disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

PureOmega may appeal to you if you're looking for omega fatty acids and want rosemary's possible memory support — but if you take blood thinners, diabetes medications, aspirin, or salicylate-based drugs, you need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting. Pregnant women should also clear it first.

Have a conversation with your own healthcare provider about whether this product fits your situation.

Can I breastfeed while taking this?

What is rosemary oil supposed to do in this formula?
Rosemary has been rated possibly effective for supporting memory. It's included here as one of the active ingredients in the blend, though the product's main focus is omega fatty acids.
