Since omega-3 fatty acids are dietary gold, the 3-6-9 combination must be three, six, nine ... times better, right?

.

Many manufacturers are meeting such needs and creating gold triple capsules. But not every omega acid needs supplementation. Ba, supplementation of all three is even mutually exclusive.

The following is an example.

With the experts, we'll show you why you'll be healthier if you simply focus on omega-3 fatty acids. And if you really want to buy omega 3-6-9, we've done an analysis of several dietary supplements for you - but first, learn the facts about the acid trinity.

Omega acids - why are they so important?

.

Omeega acids affect many systems, organs and processes in your bodyand. As you read this sentence omega acids take care of your concentration so that you can read multisyllabic, complex acid names. They support cardiovascular function (listen to your heartbeat), and look at the skin on your hands as you scroll. Healthy and taut - yes, omega acids have got fat fingers in it.

.
Omega fatty acids are absolutely essential for the functioning of the nervous, cardiovascular and immune systems. They are responsible for controlling inflammation, as well as the appearance of skin and hair. They are multitaskers!
.

Alexandra Cudna Clinical nutritionist

.

Another way of writing these acids, where the letter n or ω appears instead of omega. So, for example, omega-3 acid is n-3 or ω-3.

The most important acids for our body are unsaturated acids -which include omega 3, 6, and 9. So it's no wonder that when you buy '3-in-1' nutritional supplements, you want to feed your body in one go and benefit from their valuable properties. After all, you want to do well, don't you?"

Yes, omega acids are important, but there is something even more important -

.

The secret of the ratio of omega 3 and 6 fatty acids

.

Omega-3 and 6 acids compete with each other for absorption in the body. To avoid unnecessary blood fat spillage, the ideal ratio of n-3 to n-6 consumption is between 1:1 and 1:4.

Then you are assured that there is room in your body for the action of both acids. Omega-3 does its part, omega-6 its part. There's also omega-9 working in the background, but it's made from the three and six so it's hard to be deficient. But...

.

Omega, we have a problem

.

The problem is that you can't control your daily supplyof omega-6 acids. You may think they are only in oils, which "after all, you rarely use in your cooking". But omega-6s are in just about everything - healthy or unhealthy (ready-to-eat dinner?, coffee bar?, chips in front of the TV?, makeup on the go?).

Well, throw in that "3-6-9" supplement...

.

You're supplying your body with an awful lot of omega-6s, which in excess are detrimental to your healthand. And the situation is even worse when you don't eat oily fish, which are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Then omega-6 acids fly all over, suppressing omega-3 fatty acids. This leads to n-3 deficiency and an imbalance of these fatty acids.

What is the risk of an imbalance of omega-3 and 6 fatty acids?

.
  • Increased inflammation in the body, which can contribute to the development of chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer and arthritisand.
  • .
  • Increased risk of cardiovascular disease .
  • Increased risk of obesity .
  • .
  • Increased risk of mental health disorders such as depression and anxietyand.

Omega 3-6-9 for children

.

Omega acids are important for a child who is growing and developing intensively. He needs to eat varied and nutritious food to have energy and mood. So it's natural to want to support your child's health with supplementation.

However, instead of buying products with omega 3-6-9, encourage your child to eat fish. Make colourful salmon and veggie rolls, or arrange sardines playfully on a plate with a feathery egg white. Or why not go to a restaurant where you catch your own fish and then eat it with taste while steaming it?"

.

If, however, you are raising a child with discerning food tastes, give him tran or a good omega-3 supplement. That will do the trick. The omega-6 will still cut in from chips with classmates at school or a cookie for dessert after lunch (and let him eat it, sometimes you can).

Omega 3-6-9 in pregnancy

.

Pregnant women need long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs). Of these, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a member of the omega-3 fatty acid group, is the most important.

.
The Polish Society of Gynaecologists and Obstetricians does not recommend the use of omega 3-6-9 fatty acid complexes. Pregnant women should focus on supplying the body with omega-3 fatty acids, especially DHA.

Omega 3-6-9 supplements? There's something better

.

You don't need a product that looks like a maths task. What you need are omega-3 fatty acids, sourced from a tasty and nutritious diet or good quality supplements.

Don't be so concerned about omega-6 acids. I've probably unknowingly eaten some of them today, but when I think of the salmon waiting for me for dinner - I know I'm controlling those fat stores between omega-3 and 6. There's a balance to be struck in your diet. And reason.

Diversify your diet with fish such as wild Pacific salmon, sardines, pollock. Eat good quality supplements with omega-3. Check out the suggestions below.

Dietary supplements with omega-3

.

What to look for when choosing omega-3 fatty acids?

.
  • Daily intake. Recommendations are to provide a minimum of 250 mg of EPA + DHA acids per day.
  • Jquality of raw material. Pay attention to the source of the omega-3 fatty acids (stated fish species) and the form (esters or triglycerides) for the sproduct to be effective.
  • TOTOX. The indicator tells you the quality of the fish oil. A good manufacturer always states TOTOX, which should be ≤ 26.
  • .
  • Additional active ingredients. Whether they make sense and the dose that will work at all.
  • The following is a guide.
  • Purity of composition. Flavours, colours and preservatives - thank you.

Omega 3-6-9 supplements - expert opinions

.
.
Diet supplements with omega 3-6-9 acids are unnecessary. Omega-9 fatty acids are produced by the body on its own, omega-6 fatty acids are supplied with the diet often in excess. We supplement omega-3 fatty acids with 1-2 portions of oily fish per week. However, if you do not - it is worth buying an omega-3-only supplement. This is the healthiest solution.

Supplementation with omega 3-6-9 products is usually not necessary. Unknowingly, we can create a disproportion between omega acids by consuming too little n-3 and too much n-6, which will adversely affect health and can cause the development of many diseases.

Omega-3 and 6 fatty acids compete with each other for bioavailability in the body, and their absorption occurs through the same metabolic pathway. This means that by supplementing both at the same time, only one will be absorbed. The same is true when this supplementation is supplemented with omega-9 acid, which, after all, the body produces on its own.

All omega acids are very much needed as they have beneficial effects on health and well-being. People who consume far too much omega-6 relative to omega-3 should be wary of 3-6-9 preparations. A nutritious and varied diet as the main source of omega acids is most important.

Omega 3-6-9 not for the brain, but for... the skin?

Fatty acids for the skin? Do you need to lubricate yourself with salmon? Fortunately, no. This form of omega acids should be in your beauty cabinet.

FAQ

.
. What do omega 3-6-9 acids do?.
.

The fatty acids omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9 affect many functions and systems in the body, including the health of the heart, brain, skin, eyes and joints. They have anti-inflammatory and immune-modelling properties. They also support memory, concentration and stress. They also influence the appearance and condition of skin and hair.

. Is it worth taking omega 3-6-9 acids?.

Supplementation with omega-3-6-9 acids depends on the individual body's needs and diet. For people who do not get enough of these acids from their diet, supplementation can help make up the shortfall. However, it is difficult to control the supply of omega-6 acids, which we usually supply in excess. Therefore, it is better to focus on eating foods rich in omega-3 and nutritious foods, while limiting processed foods.

. When to use omega-3-6-9 acids?.

Omega 3-6-9 acids can be used when your diet is not varied and nutritious. However, it is recommended that you only use products with omega-3s, as people are most commonly deficient in them. Omega-9 acids are produced by the body on its own, while omega-6 acids are taken in excess from processed products. By supplementing with 3-6-9 you can lead to harmful acid imbalances in the body.

. Can you overdose on omega 3-6-9 acids?.

Yes, it is possible to overdose on omega 3-6-9 acids due to over-supplementation and a concomitant diet rich in processed and unhealthy foods. Supplied in excess, omega acids have a pro-inflammatory effect, harm the cardiovascular system and can contribute to the development of various diseases.

. How long can you take omega acids 3-6-9?.

It is not advisable to take omega 3-6-9 acids for long periods of time, and it is best to replace them with omega-3 acids alone or by increasing the amount of oily fish in the diet. Supplements of omega 3-6-9 can lead to an unhealthy imbalance of acids in the body, which is detrimental to health and well-being.

. How much does omega 3-6-9 cost?.

Omega-3-6-9 dietary supplements cost between a dozen and several hundred zloty, and the price depends on the manufacturer, the quality of the omega acids, the size of the pack and the manufacturing process of the supplement.

.
. What is better: omega-3 or omega 3-6-9?.

Omeega-3 fatty acids provide the most health-promoting benefits to the body, and their deficiency is most common. Providing omega-3 acids from the diet or supplements helps to maintain a healthy balance of acids, which is upset most often by the unconscious overconsumption of omega-6 acids. These acids compete with each other and, being in the minority, omega-3 acids cannot positively influence health and well-being.
