Description: Our omega-3-6-9 EFA formula provides all three essential fatty acids from plant-based sources. The formula provides linoleic acid (omega-6), alpha-linoleic acid (omega-3), and gamma-linoleic acid (omega-9). It provides omega-3 in BHA and EPA form (the kind found in seafood), and ALA form (the plant-based variety).
Omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids are called polyunsaturated fats because they have many double bonds (poly=many). Your body doesn’t have the enzymes to produce them, so you must get them from your diet. If you don’t get any from your diet, you develop a deficiency and become sick. That is why they are termed “essential” fatty acids.
Omega-9 (GLA, Gamma-linoleic acid) is good for the heart and brain.
The body needs fatty acids, called essential fatty acids. It can make most of the fatty acids it needs. But the body can't make linolenic acid, an essential fatty acid that includes omega-6 fatty acids. A healthy diet is the body's main source of omega-6 fatty acids followed by supplementation such as this formula.
Omega-6 fatty acids, along with omega-3 fatty acids, play a key role in brain function, normal growth and development, and mainly provide energy.
There's no need to worry about arachidonic acid development with this formula as it's one hundred percent plant-based with balanced ratios of omega-3, 6, and 9. The body converts very little linolenic acid into arachidonic acid, even when linolenic acid is abundant in the diet, so there's no need to worry about adverse side effects as promoted by carnist circles who don't understand how Nature in general, plants in particular, work.
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a type of omega-3 fatty acid that is found in fatty fish, fish oil supplements, and seaweed. It's a key structural component of the retina, brain, and sperm cells, and it may have several health benefits

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is a type of omega-3 fatty acid found in cold-water fish like salmon and tuna, as well as in fish oil supplements. EPA is sometimes called a "marine omega-3" because of its source. “Marine omega-3.” Marine omega-3 can also be derived from marine algae (seaweed) which is better and safer than marine animals like fish and krill (crustacean).
