Omega Fatty Acids

Omega fatty acids 3, 6, and 9 are healthy fats that are beneficial to many bodily functions. Omega-3 and Omega-6 are essential nutrients, meaning your body does not produce them and they must be obtained through food.

Omega-3 and 6 work together to support healthy cholesterol levels, blood pressure, cell membranes, brain & liver function, thyroid and adrenal activity, hormone production, immune and inflammatory responses, normal blood clotting, healthy skin and hair and more. Because they work in tandem, the ideal ratio is 3:1 for consuming Omega-6 to Omega-3.

Omega-9 (monounsaturated oleic and stearic acid) will be produced by your body when it has the proper amounts of Omega-3 and 6, so it is crucial to make sure you are getting the right ratio.

Omega-9 plays a role in promoting heart health by supporting healthy, balanced cholesterol levels and improving immune function.
