Product Description
BIOGOLD OMEGA 3&6 DIETARY OIL. From a nutritional point of view, not only the ratio of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids consumed is important, but also the ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids within the unsaturated fatty acids is of particular significance. While the ratio of saturated/unsaturated fatty acids has long been known to cause problems, it has only been known for a few years that there is a special significance to the ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids within the unsaturated fatty acids. In the typical diet of the civilized world, these two types of fatty acids are present in a ratio of 1:10-1:30. The ideal amount of total consumed omega-3 fatty acids would be around 1-1.5 g per day. The most important essential omega-6 fatty acid is linoleic acid, which is abundantly present in sunflower oil. Among the essential omega-3 fatty acids, alpha-linolenic acid is the most significant. Flaxseed oil, rapeseed oil, walnut oil, and peanut oil are rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids. In addition to animal fats, the Hungarian population mainly consumes sunflower oil rich in the omega-6 fatty acid linoleic acid, with low consumption of oil varieties rich in omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil, oily seeds), resulting in low omega-3 fatty acid intake in the population. Increasing this intake and ensuring the optimal ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids is of great importance when it comes to BIOGOLD Omega 3-6 dietary oil.
