Product Description:
Omega 3-6-9 from NOW is an optimal blend of essential fatty acids sourced from organic Flax Seed, Evening Primrose and Olive Oils and expeller-pressed Wheat Germ Oil. This balanced vegetarian supplement is high in Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, dietary components vital for numerous bodily processes including the maintenance and production of new cells and cardiovascular health.
Omega-3 is an essential fatty acid (EFA), also known as a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA). Fatty acids form the main useful fraction of fats and oils and are necessary for overall health. Because your body cannot manufacture essential fatty acids, you must get them from food or supplemental sources. Plant sources such as Flax Oil contain the parent Omega-3 fatty acid called Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). The human body normally converts ALA to the longer chain fatty acids EPA and DHA, which are used for prostaglandin formation and other cellular needs.
