Collection: Fatty acids

Fatty acids are essential building blocks for our health. They form cell membranes, are precursors for signaling molecules (hormones, inflammatory mediators), and provide energy. The balance between omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids is particularly important.

  • Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA, DHA, ALA) support the cardiovascular system, brain, eyes and anti-inflammatory processes.

  • Omega-6 fatty acids (e.g., linoleic acid, GLA) are necessary for skin, immune system and hormone regulation – in balance with Omega-3.

  • Omega-9 fatty acids (e.g. oleic acid) have a stabilizing effect on blood lipids.

  • Special fatty acids such as MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides) can provide quick energy without significantly impacting blood sugar levels.

A balanced supply of fatty acids is crucial for cell health, metabolism, hormonal balance and longevity .
