Omega 3-6-9 Complete™ Facts

Our bodies require essential fatty acids (EFA’s) on a daily basis to maintain optimal health. While the typical diet provides plenty of fats, it generally does not provide the kind of fats required by the body for optimum health. Omega-3 fish oil and Omega-6 fatty acids are both classes of fatty acids that are referred to as essential to the body. This supplement contains the appropriate balance of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. These support the cellular, nervous, metabolic and cardiovascular systems in a more efficient manner.

Why We All Need an Omega-3 Source In Our Later Years

As seniors, we should all take essential fatty acids. Studies suggest that Omega-3 fatty acids may be helpful in treating a variety of conditions and the evidence is strongest for heart disease. It may also help protect against strokes, which are more prevalent for us as we head into our later years. The right balance of Omega-3 can help increase higher HDL (good) cholesterol levels, and it can reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and reduce blood pressure. A good Omega-3 source can also help control blood sugar levels.

Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s)

Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's) are fats that humans cannot manufacture or synthesize by themselves. We must obtain them from our diet. Unfortunately, many of today’s processed and fast foods contain unhealthy saturated fats and our diets seriously lack the healthy fats we need. Just like vitamins and minerals, essential fatty acids are critical to all body functions. EFA's provide the body with the specific nutrients it needs to manufacture cell membranes.

Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids Affect Your Growth, Vitality, and Mental Health

There are two families of EFA's, Omega-3's and Omega-6's. Omega-3 fatty acids are made from Alpha Linolenic Acid, and the Omega-6 fatty acids are made from Linolenic Acid. Consuming both Linolenic and Indolence Fatty Acids allows the body to make all the essential fats it needs. These EFA’s are involved in converting food substances into usable energy and then transporting that energy throughout our bodies. EFA’s favorably affect atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, and inflammatory disease.

Flaxseed Oil

Flaxseed oil is one of the the world's richest sources of Omega-3 fatty acids, containing more than double the amount of Omega-3 found in an equal quantity of fish oils. Flaxseed oil also contains Omega-6 fatty acids. The Omega-3 fatty acids in flaxseed oil are not identical to those found in fish oil. Flaxseed oil contains Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA), while fish contains Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA). The body is able to convert ALA into EPA and DHA.

Recently, the American Heart Association has released a scientific statement for healthcare professionals in which it describes the beneficial effects of adding Linolenic Acid to one’s diet. They stated, "There is some evidence that ALA reduces the risk of heart disease in women, and there are beneficial effects of Omega-3 fatty acids on reducing the risk of coronary artery disease as well as other diseases such as inflammatory diseases."

Also, the American Journal of Clinical study concluded that, "This study supports the hypothesis that a higher intake of Alpha-Linolenic Acid is protective against fatal Ischemic Heart Disease."

Omega-9 Fatty Acid

Omega-9 fatty acid, or Oleic acid, may sometimes be mistaken as an EFA, but it is not, because humans can produce a limited amount. Oleic Acid is the primary Mono-unsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) found in olive oil. Oleic acid is associated with reduction of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), reducing insulin resistance, improving glucose (blood sugar) maintenance, and improving immune system function.

Study Shows Omega-3 Fatty Acids May Help Against Depression

Although best known for cardiovascular benefits, new findings indicate that the influence of Omega-3 fatty acids in mental health, particularly EPA, may currently be underestimated. Epidemiological, experimental and new clinical studies have all shown a strong connection between Omega-3 fatty acids and major depression. It is not entirely surprising when one considers that the brain itself is 60% fat and that one-third of all fatty acids are of the polyunsaturated variety.

Recent Study Shows Omega-6 May Help Avoid Strokes While Aiding Brain Function

Omega-6 may protect a person from the most common type of stroke, a new study from Japan suggests.

Ischemic strokes, which occur when a clot or narrowed artery cuts off the blood supply to part of the brain, account for about 80% of all strokes. The other 20% are due to broken blood vessels in the brain and are called hemorrhagic strokes. A recent study of 7,450 men and women aged 40 to 85 found that levels of Omega-6 was inversely associated with the risk of stroke. Another finding states that Omega-6 may decrease blood pressure and reduce the blood's ability to "stick" together or form clots.


In another study, a researcher at Loyola University Medical Center stated, "When we don't have enough Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids in our system, it can lead to a heart attack or a stroke. You're not getting enough oxygen to your brain, and you are overloading your heart." Those two fatty acids, which are found in fish, nuts, seeds and some oils, are needed for a long list of body functions. However, while the human body manufactures most of the fats it needs, it does not make these two elements, requiring people to get them from their diets.

Your body has a mechanism to limit plaque buildup, however, the process requires a supply of Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids, which are often in short supply in the body, especially as we age. "Basically, your body doesn't produce enough of the chemical to dilate the blood vessels," Holloway says. "When we get older we need lots of things and this is one of them."
