Description
Solgar® Omega 3-6-9 is a premium blend of Omega 3, 6 and 9. Fatty acids
which are derived from fish, flaxseed and borage oils. These essential fats
are required for several physiological functions and need to be part of
our diet as the body cannot make them on its own.
Omega 3 consists of EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic
Acid). These are commonly found in oily fish such as sardines, mackerel
and salmon. It also includes ALA (Alpha-linolenic Acid), which fish naturally
convert to the all-important EPA and DHA, but our bodies can only convert
small amounts.
Omega 6 is made up from Linoleic Acid and Gamma-Linolenic Acid, and can
be found in several oils and nuts.
Omega 9 can naturally be found in food which contains Oleic Acid such
as nuts and oils.
The ratio between these fatty acids is very important, especially the
one between Omega 3 and Omega 6. Solgar® Omega 3-6-9, with its 3 a
day dosage, provides a higher ratio of omega-3 oils, both from fish and
flax, which are complimented by the high quality omega-6s from borage
and flax oils, as well as omega-9s in the form of oleic acid, also from
flax oil.
Fish oils are susceptible to different contaminants as these are often
present in the food fish consume. Contaminants are often present at the
very bottom of the aquatic food chain in marine organisms in the sediments
of fresh and ocean water. To ensure purity and safety, Solgar’s
Omega 3-6-9 uses oil that has been molecularly distilled to remove mercury,
PCBs and other heavy metal contaminants.
