Here at Together Health, we're committed to ensuring our customers receive the best additive-free supplements crafted with whole food and natural nutrients. A common question we've noticed is about the presence of omega 6 and 9 in our Omega 3 product. Let's delve into this to provide clarity.
Does our Omega 3 product have omega 6 or 9?
The short answer is that while our Omega 3 product is not formulated with added omega 6 or 9, it contains a nominal amount of high-oleic acid sunflower oil. High-oleic acid sunflower oils predominantly consist of monounsaturates, mainly omega-9 oleic acid (about 80%), and a lesser percentage of polyunsaturates, primarily omega-6 linoleic acid (less than 10%). In terms of specifics, each soft gel capsule has approximately 19 mg of sunflower oil, which translates to 15.2 mg of omega 9 and a mere 1.9 mg of omega 6.
What does this mean in terms of your diet?
Omega 6, although an essential part of our diet, can become counterproductive when overconsumed. But just how much omega 6 are you getting from our product? Let's break it down:
Comparative Daily Intake: Daily recommendations for omega 6 consumption average at around 17 grams for men and 12 grams for women. In this light, our Omega 3 product contributes a mere 0.011% of the daily intake for a male adult and 0.015% for a female adult.
Considering Omega Ratios: Ratios play a crucial role in understanding the balance of omegas in your diet. If our Omega 3 supplement is your primary source of omega 3, consuming the recommended 2 soft gels a day will provide 704mg of omega 3. As per general ratio guidelines (3:1 of omega 6 to omega 3), one would need 2.1 grams of omega 6 daily. In this scenario, our Omega 3 product contributes only 0.08% of your daily requirement. Even considering a 1:1 ratio, it's just 0.5% of your daily omega 6 intake.
Summary
In conclusion, the amounts of omega 6 and 9 present in our Omega 3 product are quite minimal, especially when viewed in the context of a regular diet. At Together Health, our mission is to ensure optimal health through our carefully crafted supplements, and we believe in being transparent and thorough in explaining our products' compositions.
