Now Foods Omega 3-6-9, 1000mg 250 Softgels #1837
This Now Foods product provides a balanced blend of two essential polyunsaturated fatty acids and their derivatives, necessary for many bodily functions: Omega 3 oils from flaxseed and canola, one type of Omega 6 oil (GLA) from Primrose and Black Currant. Oleic Acid, an Omega 9 oil from canola and flax is a monounsaturated fat not considered essential but does play beneficial roles in human health.
Omega-9 Fatty Acids Omega-9 fatty acids are monounsaturated oleic and steric acids. They can be produced by the body when omega-3 and -6 are present. Otherwise they will need to be consumed. They can help lower cholesterol and keep the arteries from hardening. Omega-9 fatty acids can also increase immune function. They are found in avocados, pecans, cashews, olives and olive oils.
What is omega-3 6 and 9 good for?
They have been used along with diet and exercise to help lower levels of a certain blood fat (triglyceride) and to raise levels of "good" cholesterol (HDL).
