What is Omega 6?

Omega 6 is a polyunsaturated fatty acid found naturally in plant-based oils, seeds and nuts. As the body cannot produce this fatty acid itself, it is important to obtain it through food or supplements. The right ratio of omega 3, 6 and 9 is essential for maintaining a balanced fatty acid profile.

The components of Omega 6

Omega 6 fatty acids include several types of polyunsaturated fatty acids, the best known of which is linoleic acid. Linoleic acid occurs naturally in plant-based oils such as sunflower oil, corn oil and safflower oil. Omega 6 also includes arachidonic acid, which is found in smaller amounts in certain animal products. These fatty acids are often obtained through food or supplements made from plant-based sources such as seeds and nuts.
