ESSENSEY OMEGA 3-6-9 COMPLEX dietary supplement contains polyunsaturated fatty acids EPA and DHA belonging to the omega-3 group and fatty acids belonging to the omega-6 and omega-9 groups.

• contains a combination of omega 3, omega 6 and omega 9 acids in 1 capsule

• the source of fatty acids are vegetable oils: linseed and borage oil and fish oil

ESSENSEY dietary supplement contains vitamin E, which, when taken regularly, helps protect cells from oxidative stress [1]

Vitamin E

Vitamin E helps protect cells from oxidative stress. [1] It is a fat-soluble vitamin that can protect polyunsaturated fatty acids (including omega 3 and 6) in the cell membrane from oxidation. In the presence of vitamin E, peroxyl radicals react with α-tocopherol instead of lipid hydroperoxide, stopping the chain reaction of peroxyl radical production and preventing further oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the membrane [2]

Borage oil

Borage seed oil is characterized by a high content of gamma-linolenic acid, which belongs to the omega-6 group. [3] It gained popularity in the first century AD. [4] Borage is considered a plant that supports joint mobility and flexibility. [5]

Fish oil

Omega-3 and omega-6 acids are essential for the proper functioning of the human body. The main source of acids

Omega-3 fatty acids are primarily “fatty” sea fish (and oils produced from them), e.g. salmon, mackerel, tuna, herring, and seafood. [6] The most well-known omega-3 acids include eicosapentaenoic acid EPA and docosahexaenoic acid DHA.

Linseed oil

It is a rich source of α-linolenic acid (ALA), which belongs to the omega-3 group. Compared to other

oils available on the market, linseed oil is characterized by the highest content of omega-3 acids and very

high content of unsaturated fatty acids in relation to other ingredients. [8]

Types of polyunsaturated fatty acids

It has been found that polyunsaturated fatty acids in mammals belong to four families: omega-3 and -6, and omega-9 and -7. Omega-7 and -9 fatty acids can be synthesized by mammals, while omega-3 and -6 acids are exogenous acids and must be supplied with food. [7]
