HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Udo's Oil 3-6-9 Blend by Flora

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.

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 5 of its 5 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Udo's Oil 3-6-9 Blend contains 5 active ingredients: a mix of polyunsaturated fats, monounsaturated fats, linoleic acid, oleic acid, and alpha-linolenic acid. These are essential fatty acids (omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fats) drawn from plant oils.

The product also contains several inactive ingredients — organic flax seed, sunflower seed, sesame seed, coconut, evening primrose, and rice and oat bran oils, plus soy lecithin and mixed tocopherols (a form of vitamin E) — which serve as carriers and preservatives rather than active components.

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: balanced omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids.
  • We looked for evidence on: Coronary heart disease (CHD), Hypercholesterolemia, Hypertension, Stroke, cardiovascular health, lipid management.
  • 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.

The evidence we hold supports oleic acid for possibly helping with high cholesterol and coronary heart disease risk. We don't have effectiveness ratings on file for the other active ingredients in this blend.

If you're considering this product for a specific health goal, talk with your doctor or pharmacist — they can help you decide whether the evidence supports it for your situation.

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 well tolerated and recognized as safe in normal amounts. However, concentrated supplement doses haven't been well studied in pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

The safety data we hold advises caution with supplement-level amounts in those circumstances. If you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant, check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this blend.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Oleic Acid

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.

If you take antidiabetes drugs (medications that lower blood sugar), check with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product — oleic acid may increase their effects and lower your blood sugar more than intended. We could not check the other ingredients in this blend for drug interactions, so it's worth running your full medication list through the tool on this page.

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 blend may be worth considering if you're looking to add omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids to your diet, especially if you have high cholesterol or heart disease risk. If you take diabetes medication, you'll want to check with your doctor or pharmacist first — the oleic acid in this product might strengthen its blood-sugar-lowering effect.

Pregnant and breastfeeding people should also discuss it with their healthcare provider before starting.

Oleic Acid1 drug type · 86 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, oleic acid might increase the effects of antidiabetes drugs. Preliminary clinical research in patients with type 2 diabetes taking oral hypoglycemic drugs shows that eating a diet rich in oleic acid from olive oil decreases fasting blood glucose levels when compared to eating a diet rich in linoleic acid from sunflower oil. It is unknown if taking oleic acid supplements would have this effect or if this change is clinically significant. Until more is known, use caution. Dose adjustment may be necessary. Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, metformin (Glucophage), pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.

Udo's Oil 3-6-9 Blend by Flora: Common Questions

Does Udo's Oil 3-6-9 Blend by Flora interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Udo's Oil 3-6-9 Blend has a known interaction with 86 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Udo's Oil 3-6-9 Blend contains 3 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What are omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 oils, and why would I take them?
They're essential fatty acids your body needs but can't make on its own — you have to get them from food or supplements. This blend combines all three types to give you a balanced mix. Many people take them to support heart and cholesterol health.
Is this safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
We don't have enough safety data for concentrated supplement doses during pregnancy or while nursing. Food amounts of oils like olive oil are fine, but this blend is more concentrated. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.
Can I take this if I'm on diabetes medication?
The oleic acid in this blend may increase how well your diabetes medication works, which could lower your blood sugar more than expected. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — they'll help you decide if it's safe to use together and whether you need to monitor your blood sugar more closely.
What's the difference between this and just taking fish oil?
This blend is plant-based and includes omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 from sources like flax and evening primrose, while fish oil is animal-derived and focuses mainly on omega-3. The choice depends on your diet, preferences, and health goals — your doctor can help you pick the right one.
Does this product contain any fillers?
It does contain inactive ingredients like soy lecithin and tocopherols, which help keep the oil stable and work as carriers. These are standard in oil-based supplements and aren't harmful, just not active ingredients.
