Fatty acid supplements contain concentrated fatty acids such as omega-3, omega-6, or omega-9. These supplements are usually found as oil capsules or liquid oils. They are intended for people who lack certain fatty acids in their diet or for those who want to improve their health and well-being. Omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are known for their positive effects on heart, brain, and eye health. Omega-6 supplements can help balance the body's ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids. Omega-9 fatty acids, such as oleic acid, are usually produced in the body and are found in various vegetable oils, such as olive oil. Fatty acid supplements are intended for people who want to improve their health, stimulate brain function, and support cardiovascular health.
