What is Omega 3-6-9?

Omega 3-6-9 is our blend of the unsaturated fatty acids, omega-3, -6 and -9. When looking at food labels, we may find ourselves trying to avoid fats. Some fats, however, are considered to be very healthy, helping our bodies to continue to function normally. Omega-3, -6 and -9 are fatty acids, which are required by our bodies.

Fatty acids are made up of chains of carbon- and hydrogen atoms. The numbers 3, 6 and 9, just tell us a bit more about the fatty acids, namely, at which point in the fatty acid chain the first carbon double bond can be found.
