Omega 6 Supplements
Omega 6 is a family of polyunsaturated fatty acids found naturally in a wide variety of foods and oils. One member of the Omega 6 family, linoleic acid (LA), is an essential fatty acid, meaning the body can't produce it and it needs to be obtained through the diet.
Omega 6 supplements are available in oils and convenient capsule formats, either on their own or as part of formulas containing other fatty acids.
Sources of Omega 6
Linoleic acid is found naturally in foods including nuts, seeds and plant oils such as sunflower, safflower and soya bean oil. Because Omega 6 is widely available from food, a varied diet can provide a significant amount. Supplements can provide an additional source for people who choose to include one as part of their routine.
Choosing an Omega 6 Supplement
When comparing Omega 6 supplements, consider:
- Source: check which oil or ingredient provides the Omega 6.
- Fatty acid profile: look at which Omega 6 fatty acids the product contains.
- Daily serving: compare the amount provided per recommended serving.
- Format: choose an oil or capsule depending on your preference.
- Combination formulas: some supplements provide Omega 6 alongside Omega 3 or other fatty acids.
Always follow the recommended directions for the individual product.
Omega 6 vs Omega 3
Omega 3 and Omega 6 are separate families of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The essential Omega 6 fatty acid is linoleic acid (LA), while the essential Omega 3 fatty acid is alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Both need to be obtained through the diet.
