UDO's 3 - 6 - 9 make your own

So to make sure I am getting correct fats it was recommend I take UDO's oil 3- 6 - 9. This is kind of pricey and I started looking into what could be made similar and cheaper .

So from the back of their bottle of 3-6-9 =

"8.5 Fl. Oz.
Supplement Facts
Serving Size1Tbsp(15ml)

Polyunsaturated Fat 10g
Monounsaturated Fat 3g

Omega-3 Fatty Acids 6g †
Omega 6 Fatty Acids 3g †
Omega 9 Fatty Acids 3g † "

so basiclly it is 2 parts omega 3 and one part each of 6 and 9.

With that said here is an outline of what you can find with these omegas in them .
Omega-3 Fatty Acids = flax seed oil
Omega 6 Fatty Acids = flax seed oil/sunflower/sesame oil/evening primrose oil/hemp/sunflower
Omega 9 Fatty Acids = olive oil/sesame oil/avocado( which actually has 3,6,9 in it )

So I just bought some Flax seed oil and used the sesame and olive oil I already had and saved a bunch of money $15.00 for over 32 oz not bad .

So again 2 parts flax seed oil and one part sesame(next time I might use hemp) and one part olive oil( I might use avocado next time ) was the receipe I used . Now just follow their suggested servings.
