Other than DHA, which Omega do you need?

You have probably heard of Omega 3 fatty acids, but do you realize that other Omegas are also needed for health? Essential fatty acids, like Omega 3 and 6, cannot be produced by our bodies and have to be consumed from diet or supplementation. Although Omega 7 and 9 are classified as non-essentials, these unsaturated fatty acids are crucial for our health.

We have prepared a table to serve as a quick reference guide as to what each Omega does.

Health Benefits of Complete Omega 3, 6, 7, 9 includes anti-inflammation, normal blood cholesterol level, triglyceride level, blood pressure, insulin resistance reduction, beauty from within, eye health, vaginal health & weight management website.png
No single Omega can tick all the boxes. That’s why we need Complete Omega 3, 6, 7, 9!.png

Comprising of sea buckthorn fruit and seed oil, Omegia® is a unique standardized formula containing a balanced ratio of all the unsaturated fatty acids: Omega 3, 6, 7, 9. This formula is clinically-supported to alleviate inflammation*, help improve blood lipid profile*, improve skin hydration, elasticity & reduce wrinkle*, alleviate dry eye* and vaginal dryness*.
