Omega 6

Omega 6 is an essential fatty acid that our body can not make itself, therefore we have to get it through the diet. The most common form of Omega 6 is linoleic acid.

Our body cannot produce essential fatty acids such as Omega 6, therefore it is important to get it through food that is rich in Omega 6 to avoid deficiency of this important nutrient. The most common form of Omega 6 is linoleic acid. It is mainly found in vegetable oils, such as sunflower, sesame, and corn oil.
