Omega 369, an important supplement


American lifestyle brings us convenience and efficiency. We are surrounded by McDonalds and Coca Cola culture. Everyday we are boomed by Big Mac or Carbonated Drinks. What they give us? FAT and Sugar. More and more people are suffering heart disease and cardiovascular disease. Too much fat is the main reason.

A way to decrease the risk of these diseases from too much fat is Omega 369, pure natural groups of fatty acids, which are necessary for good health. Omega 3 family has two essential fatty acids, EPA and DHA, which are hardly found in our food sources, except little quantities in oily fish or its supplements. Omega3 has many functions, such as preventing of heart disease and the complications of heart attack, lowering blood pressure, improving glucose metabolism and so on. Omega 6 is regarded as pro-inflammatory, GLA. However, if it is intaken dietetically, it has the function of anti-inflammatory. It is helpful to maintain healthy skin, hair and nails. And it helps to balance the hormone and emotion. Most important, Omega 3 and omega 6 interact each other. Therefore the balance between each other is quite critical. With the two fatty acids, the production of eicosanoids in human body can be greatly influenced. The eicosandoids has an important role on inflammation and all functions of at a cellular level. Omega 9, the main component, is Oleic acid, which is helpful to decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and arteriosclerosis. Omega 9 oil can be found in olive oil.

Omega fatty acids are polyunsaturated fat, much better than saturated fats, and have a lot of metabolic functions. Both Omega 3 and Omega 6 are essential fatty acids, called EFA's, can not be produced by our body, have to be intaken from our food sources. Omega 9 is not essential, but our body can make it.

Having an Omega 369 supplement, which has balanced ratio of different oils, can ensure you intake essential nutrients to maintain good health.
