Why not Omega-3-6-9 products?
Our bodies do not need more Omega-6 nor Omega-9. Omega-6, though an essential fatty acid like Omega-3 PUFAs, are already abundant in modern western diets. They are, therefore, not necessary to obtain from supplements. In fact, many experts feel that excessive intake of Omega-6 can lead to inflammation (Okuyama, H., 2000). Omega-9 is a monounsaturated fatty acid that is found abundantly in nature and, in turn, the foods we already eat. In addition, unlike Omega-3 long-chain PUFAs which deplete steadily, oleic acid (Omega-9) is naturally produced by the human body.
