Always talk to your doctor before taking supplements.
Both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids need to be supplemented in the diet. The ideal ratio of these fats for healthy people is 2 parts omega-6 to 1 part omega-3. For people who have immune system weakness, heart disease, blood sugar imbalance and fibromyalgia, there is need to increase the amount of omega-3 fats.
The ratio of omega-6’s to 3’s should be somewhere between 2:1 and 4:1.
Omega-9’s are the most abundant fatty acids of all in nature, and they are not in short supply in our diets. They are also not considered essential because our bodies can make omega-9’s from unsaturated fat in our bodies.
