Fats are an essential component of a healthy diet. They affect the taste and texture of many foods, including oils, nuts, seeds, avocados, salmon and many others that nutritionists consider to be the healthiest in the world. However, at a much deeper molecular level, fats are crucial for several basic functions in our bodies.
Unsaturated fatty acids are essential for our life and proper development. They are found in plant and animal fats in the form of glycerides.
Essential unsaturated fatty acids
Omega-3 are the basic building material, from which the body obtains components needed for the synthesis of many substances and structural compounds for the construction of cells, tissues and organs. They have a broad spectrum of properties: they help reduce triglycerides, have anti-inflammatory properties, improve the functioning of cell membranes of neurons in the brain, and help hydrate the skin.
Omega-6 is found in unrefined cold-pressed vegetable oils: corn, sunflower, soybean, rapeseed, grapeseed, evening primrose, coconut, hemp, walnut, borage seed and oil, and avocado.
Omega-9 are unsaturated fatty acids in which the double bond is located at the ninth carbon atom from the end of the chain. The human body can synthesise monounsaturated fatty acids on its own, but it is worth ensuring that this is also provided in the diet.
Important Omega-3 to Omega-6 ratio
The amount of supplied omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids is less important than the proportion of these fats in the diet. It has been proven that too much omega-6 limits the bioavailability of omega-3 fatty acids. A ratio between 2.5:1 and 5:1 (n-6:n-3) is recommended. Larger amounts of omega-6 in the diet also adversely affect metabolism, increasing the risk of inflammation, and as a result - civilization and degenerative diseases.
The Omega 3-6-9 preparation has been carefully formulated, taking into account the optimal amount of all unsaturated fatty acids.
Additional advantages
Vitamin E is an antioxidant, which means that it helps to protect cells from oxidative damage. Free radicals are formed by normal body processes, causing damage that shortens cell life. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that can help reduce free radicals and slow down the cell ageing process.
Regular supplementation with omega acids: contributes to maintaining normal blood triglyceride levels (DHA and EPA), maternal intake contributes to normal brain and eye development in the foetus and breastfed infants (DHA), helps maintain normal blood pressure (DHA and EPA), and supports heart function (EPA and DHA).
Evening primrose oil is not only an excellent source of EFAs, but also perfectly cares for atopic skin and skin with eczema. It soothes skin inflammation and improves its hydration. Contributes to the alleviation of inflammation.
