ESSENCE Omega 3-6-9 90 capsules

Essence Nutrition Omega 3-6-9 is a dietary supplement in the form of capsules that contains EPA and DHA fatty acids from the omega-3 group and fatty acids from the omega-6 and omega-9 groups.

Why are fatty acids important in the diet?
Fatty acids are a group of lipid derivatives. Simply put, lipids are the main nutrients next to proteins and carbohydrates. They are a concentrated source of energy and nutrients.

Do you know that…
Individual fatty acids have a different number and position of double bonds in the molecule. Depending on these bonds, fatty acids are divided into saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated. The location of the double bond in the carbon chain defines a series (or families) of fatty acids and categorizes them as n-3, n-6, n-7, n-9 fatty acids. This is the information that the first double bond is at the 3rd, 6th, 7th or 9th carbon of the chain, where we start counting from the n-terminus.

What fatty acids does Essence Nutrition Omega 3-6-9 contain?
Essence Nutrition Omega 3-6-9 contains unsaturated fatty acids belonging to the omega-3 family (EPA, DHA, alpha-linolenic acid), omega-6 (linoleic acid) and omega-9 (oleic acid). Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids together form a pool of essential unsaturated fatty acids (EFAs) that must be supplied with food, because the human body does not produce them.

What is worth remembering about fatty acids?
Unsaturated fatty acids are the building blocks of cells and components of phospholipids in cell membranes. They play important roles in the human body. They are involved in the transport and metabolism of cholesterol, and also affect blood flow through the coronary vessels. They are also elements in the synthesis of eicosanoids, i.e. tissue hormones that act as peripheral messengers that affect the activities of hormones and neurotransmitters.
