Omega3 and omega6 essential fatty acids are necessary for proper human growth and development throughout all stages of life. Both are found in equal amounts in our bodies when we are born, however as we age they deplete. You cannot manufacture your own omega3 and omega6 so you will have to make sure your diet includes plenty of both.

 

Omega3 and omega6 should be found in a 1:1 ratio. However our diets are so high in omega6 that many doctors suggest the omega3:omega6 ratio may be anywhere from 1:20 to 1:40.

If you are looking to increase your omega3 intake to try to balance the omega3:omega6 ratio, the benefits of omega3 supplements will greatly help restore the imbalance.
