The benefits of the fatty acids found in omega 3-6-9 are now well understood. While our body has the ability to produce omega 9, critical for heart health, omega-3 and omega-6 are two types of fats considered “essential” as they cannot be manufactured by the body; therefore they have to be provided by a good diet or supplementation. However, it can often prove difficult to achieve through our diet, adequate levels and forms of each kind of fatty acid. Omega-6 fatty acids tend to be over-supplied while omega-3 fatty acids are under supplied in modern Western Diet, especially in vegetarian diets.
Besides, due to industrial food oil production, most omega-6 fatty acids in the diet come from poor quality vegetable oils such as soybean oil or corn oil which tend to promote inflammation. It is becoming increasingly clear that the profound imbalance between our intake of poor quality omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids can have dire consequences such a higher incidence of heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, obesity and premature ageing.
One of the biggest challenges for our diet, especially for the vegan and vegetarian diet, is getting a proper balance of healthy fats.
HealthAid® Vegan Omega 3-6-9 is sourced from the plant Flax seed Oil, a rich natural source of high quality polyunsaturated and essential fatty acids Omega-3, Omega-6 and Omega-9. Besides, the amounts and ratios of each fatty acid in HealthAid® Vegan Omega 3-6-9 are perfectly balanced to optimal levels of each to ensure that you are getting the essential nutrients for your good health and wellbeing.
Omega 3: is one of the main components of cell membranes, giving cells their fluidity, ease of movement and absorption. They are a critical factor in maintaining a healthy heart, circulation, brain function and joint mobility. Flaxseed oil, in Vegan Omega 3-6-9, provides Omega 3 alpha-linolenic acid, specially known to help lower inflammation and maintain healthy cholesterol levels. Omega 6 sourced from plants such as flaxseed or borage provides a good form of omega 6 LA converted into GLA (gamma linolenic acid) which helps to support the immune system. Studies show it has anti-inflammatory properties which can help with the bloating and pain associated with PMS. It also helps to maintain healthy skin, hair and nails and generally bring about hormonal and emotional balance. Omega 9 fatty acid is created by the body; it has many preventative qualities as its main component, Oleic acid, helps to reduce the risk of arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular disorders.
