Everyone knows about Omega-3’s but did you know there are omega 6’s and 9’s? You can buy supplements that are omega 3-6-9, which has all three of them in a even ratio but should you? The simple answer is no, you should just stick with omega 3’s.
Omega 3’s: I would recommend to anyone to take, they provide far too many health benefits just to ignore. These include reduced risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, as well as enhanced brain and joint function, just to name a few. They also have muscle-building and fat-loss benefits.
Omega 6’s: Also provide numerous health benefits and are an essential fat for anyone’s diet. But there is a key difference omega 6’s come from vegetable oil, nuts, and grain-fed meat, which aren’t really fats most people are deficient in. So despite being essential these omega 6’s can become very unhealthy when the ration of omega 3’s to omega 6’s become higher than 4:1.
Omega 9’s: Just like the other two omega 9’s also provide health benefits in the form of anti inflammatory properties that provide joint healing and my prevent possible diseases. But also unlike omega 3’s and omega 6’s, the omega 9 fatty acids are not essential. This means that your body can produce them on its own without supplementation.Omega 9’s are also found in olive oil and other vegetable oils. So, if you include those oils in your diet you are likely getting adequate amounts of omega-9 fats.
So you should only stick with the omega 3’s, which it has been recommended that you take 6 grams in the form of fish oil daily. You should also stay away from omega 3-6-9 supplements because generally they have only 10-20 percent the amount of omega-3 fats as omega-3 fish oil supplements.
