Description

Omega-3-6-9 are fatty acids with a large number of multiple double or triple covalent bonds. It is they who determine their useful properties.

• Omega-3s have three double bonds between carbon atoms. The most common is alpha-linolenic. It enters the human body only with food. Among the main beneficial properties are antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. A sufficient amount of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids helps to cope with chronic inflammation, which is especially important in diseases of the joints.
• Omega-6s have two double bonds. A typical representative is linoleic acid. In the human body, it is also not produced, but comes with food or as part of biological additives to it. Omega-6 acids have an anti-inflammatory effect. They are, in a way, precursors of eicosanoids: leukotrienes and prostaglandins. The latter are involved in inflammatory reactions in the presence of infectious agents.
• Omega-9s include oleic acid. Its role is to stabilize cholesterol plaques, reduce the severity of oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation.
