Omega 9 The Fatty Acids Body Makes Itself

Omega 9 are monounsaturated fatty acids. Unlike omega 3 and omega 6, omega 9 fatty acids are not considered essential, as they can be synthesised in the body from unsaturated fat.

What is omega 9?

Omega 9 fatty acids are fatty acids stored in your body fat. Your body has a little omega-3, more omega-6 and lots of omega-9. Your fat cells make omega 9 fat from the fatty acids your body doesn’t consume as energy.

What are food sources of omega 9?

You find Omega-9 fatty acids in olive oil, almond oil, walnuts, animal fat, fish and avocado. As omega-9 fatty acids can be produced in the body, and since we consume enough through a regular diet, you don’t need additional supplements of these fatty acids.

Some food sources of omega 9 are:

• sunflower oil
• argan oil
• peanut oil
• soya oil
• corn oil
• hazelnuts
• pistachios
• almonds
• sesame seeds
• pine nuts
• peanuts
• chia seeds
• olives
• cucumber
• acai
• macadamia nuts

Why is omega 9 good for you?

Substituting saturated fats with oild and fats containing unsaturated fatty acids such as omega-9, omega 3 or omega 6 fatty acids, helps to maintain a normal cholesterol level in your blood. As high cholesterol is a risk factor in the development of cardiovascular diseases, this is healthy eating for the health of your heart.

How to get enough omega 9

As your body produces the omega 9 fatty acids it needs and you consume enough through a regular diet, you don’t need additional supplements of omega 9.

Omega 3 6 7 9 Flax Seeds Whole Sea Buckthorn Oil

 Omega 3 6 7 9 flax seeds is a comprehensive nutritional omega complex derived from a balanced blend of fish oil, sea buckthorn oil, flaxseed oil and borage oil.

 

Fish oil is a natural source of omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs), including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

 

EFAs cannot be produced by the body and can only be obtained through diet and supplementation.

 

EFAs are important structural components that make up cell membranes.

 

EFAs play a vital role in supporting the proper functioning of every cell in the body.

 

Sea buckthorn oil is loaded with omega-7 fatty acid (palmitoleic acid) commonly used to nourish the body.

 

Omega-7 fatty acid is present in the matrix of the skin, blood vessels, and protective mucous membranes throughout the body.

 

Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction delivers the beneficial components of sea buckthorn under extremely gentle conditions in a low heat and oxygen environment.

 

Flaxseed oil helps support a healthy body.

 

The borage oil and flaxseed oil are cold pressed to preserve most of their nutritional values.

Recommended for individuals who wish to maintain good health.

 

At Roncuvita, we are proud to offer a wide collection of omega oils, which are filled with essential fatty acids (EFAs).

Omega Oils

 

Omega oil supplements provide a convenient way to complement your diet with essential fatty acids (EFAs). EFAs are fats which the human body needs to maintain good health, but cannot be manufactured naturally by it. Because of this, we need to consume them either via the diet or by supplementation. Ingredients in our omega supplements are 100% naturally sourced for all over the world, and undergo a rigorous testing procedure in our UK laboratory, to ensure they provide the best absorption and bioavailability.

Advancements in Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy

 

The omega series (primarily omegas 3, 6, and 9) fatty acids have been intensively studied and recognized for their primary and secondary roles in many biochemical reactions and health parameters. Depending on the specific form and the animal in question, the omega series fatty acids are often considered essential as the body must obtain either their precursor or final form from the diet.

 

For example, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), also known as the “fish oils,” are considered truly essential to domestic cats who cannot convert these fatty acids from the plant-based precursor α-linolenic acid (ALA). As a general rule the more herbivorous the animal the better its conversion from ALA to DHA and/or EPA. The converse is true of carnivorous animals who are generally poor converters.

 

Omega-6 series fatty acids (linoleic acid [LA] is the principle physiologic form and comes primarily from plant-based sources and plant-eating animal tissue) often have opposing functions to omega-3 series fats. Omega 9 series fatty acids (including oleic acid and erucic acid) commonly come from plant oils and animal fat. Omega 9 fatty acids are often not considered essential because many animals can construct these fats from unsaturated fat. Studies on omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid supplementation are extensive in mammals.

 

Additionally, there are numerous studies on both fatty acid types in birds, primarily in poultry species. The value and role(s) of omega 9 fatty acids in birds have yet to be clearly defined.

 

Omega series fatty acids are most often listed by their form (e.g., ALA, DHA, LA) and in milligram amounts. Serving size and/or dose recommendations are often included. These fatty acids may be packaged in gel capsules (preferred form for stability reasons), gel sticks, dry powder, pump and pour-on bottles, and more. DHA and EPA are highly unstable and currently best kept in gel capsules. All fatty acid supplements should be stored in dark cool locations and in tightly sealed bottles or capsules to slow oxidation.

 

With some exceptions, most studies on fatty acid quality pertain to contaminants. In particular, persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are of greatest concern as these toxic compounds bioaccumulate and biomagnify in animal tissues, particularly marine species. While plants can also contain POPs, these organic compounds are typically deposited on the leafy portions of the plants and are not bioaccumulative and do not magnify as is common with predator species.

 

POP exposure is associated with a host of problems including endocrine disruptions; cancer; and neurobehavioral, reproductive, and developmental disturbances in humans and animals. Contamination with polychlorinated biphenyls, organochlorinated pesticides, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, pristine, squalene, unresolved complex mixtures, aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonist (digoxin-like), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/furans was noted in a number of studies of fish oils and omega 3 fatty acid supplements. In 2004 ConsumerLab, an independent reviewer of nutraceuticals, reported that 6 of 20 omega-3 fatty acid products did not contain the label-stated amount of one or more essential fatty acids.

 

The website stated “two of the products that failed made claims on their labels that their ‘potency’ had been ‘tested’ or ‘verified’.” In a 2014 revised review of 30 omega-3 fatty acid supplements, ConsumerLab reported that five products failed to meet basic quality testing.
