Polyunsaturated Omega-6 fatty acids
Polyunsaturated Omega-6 fatty acids are essential fats that support brain function, growth, and development. Found in plant oils, nuts, and seeds, they contribute to cellular health, help regulate inflammation, and promote cardiovascular well-being.
Description
Omega-6 fatty acids are a family of polyunsaturated fats, including linoleic acid (LA) and arachidonic acid (AA), which are essential for human health. The body cannot synthesize these fats; they must be obtained through diet. Omega-6s are important for brain function, skin and hair growth, bone health, and regulation of metabolism.
- Individuals with diets low in essential fatty acids or with unbalanced Omega-3 to Omega-6 ratios.
- People with chronic inflammatory conditions, as Omega-6s can influence inflammation.
- Those with skin and hair health issues.
- Individuals with hormonal imbalances or reproductive health issues.
- People with cardiovascular risk factors or metabolic disorders.
Omega-6 fatty acids are components of cell membranes, affecting cell signaling and structural integrity. Linoleic acid, an Omega-6 fat, is converted into arachidonic acid in the body, which is involved in inflammatory and immune responses. While essential, a balanced intake of Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids is important, as excessive Omega-6 can lead to heightened inflammation.
- Dry, itchy skin or eczema.
- Hair loss or poor hair quality.
- Slow wound healing.
- Increased susceptibility to infections.
- Poor growth in children.
- Hormonal imbalances.
- Joint pain or stiffness.
