Omega 3, 6 & 9 ( 90 Softgels )

How is Omega 3 6 & 9 important to Health?

Omega 3, omega 6, and omega 9 fatty acids are all important dietary fats, they all have health benefits, but it’s IMPORTANT TO GET THE RIGHT BALANCE THEM. An imbalance in your diet may contribute to several chronic diseases.

Omega 3, omega 6 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids, both fatty acids are essential, so you need to obtain them from your diet. A healthy ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 fatty acids appears to be between 4 or less to 1, but studies suggest that people who follow a typical Western diet may consume a ratio of between 15 to 1 and almost 17 to 1, they can increase the risk of inflammation and inflammatory disease. Furthermore, Polyunsaturated fatty acids vs Monounsaturated fatty acids vs Saturated fatty acids suggested ratio 1 to 1 to 1, was introduced to the World at FAO/WHO “Fats and Lipids in Human Nutrition” conference in Rome Sep 1977.

Overall edible oil cost contains of omega 6 are relatively lower in compared to omega 3, therefore, edible oil contains higher ratio of omega 6 are widely used in consumer market commercially, which believed that it is the main reason why people over consumption of omega 6 are in common.

Since the human body can’t produce omega 3, these fatty acids are referred to as “essential fatty acid” meaning that you must get them from your diet and or supplements.

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is to produce chemicals called eicosanoids, which help protect vision, reduce inflammation, may also help reduce symptoms of depression.

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) makes up about 8% of brain weight and contributes to brain development and function.

Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) can be converted into EPA and DHA, ALA appears to benefit the heart, immune system, and nervous system.

Omega 3 is a crucial part of human cell membranes, they also have other important functions, including:

Improving heart health, omega 3 may help manage cholesterol, triglyceride, and blood pressure levels.

Supporting mental health, omega 3 supplements may help manage or prevent depression, Parkinson’s disease, and psychosis in those at risk.

Supporting infant and child brain development, omega 3 support brain development in a fetus.

Decreasing liver fat, consuming omega 3 may help decrease the amount of fat in your liver.

Reducing weight and waist size, omega 3 may help people manage their weight and waist circumference.

Fighting inflammation, o mega 3 may help manage inflammation that occurs with some chronic diseases.

Vision protection, omega 3 especially DHA may help protect Macular degeneration,

Dry eye syndrome, Glaucoma.

A low intake of omega 3 compared with omega 6 may contribute to inflammation and chronic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, atherosclerosis, and heart failure.

Omega 6 fats are essential fats that provide energy for the body and benefits in treating symptoms of chronic disease, the most common omega 6 fat is linoleic acid (LA), which the body can convert to arachidonic acid (AA), like EPA, AA produces eicosanoids. However, the eicosanoids that AA produces are more pro-inflammatory, it is important to the immune system, when the body produces too many, they can increase the risk of inflammation and inflammatory disease.

Omega 9 benefits the heart, brain and overall well-being. Research shown omega 9 can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke, can benefits heart health, increase HDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol) and decrease LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol). This may help eliminate plaque buildup in the arteries, which we know as one of the causes of heart attacks and strokes.

Oleic acid(OA)is the most common omega 9 fatty acid and the most common monounsaturated fatty acid in the diet, may help increase energy, decrease anger and enhance your mood.
