What Are Omega 3, 6, 9 and CLA?

Omega 3, 6 and 9 essential fatty acids are unsaturated lipids that play a vital role in the proper functioning of the human body. They are called "essential" because the body cannot produce them on its own — they must be obtained through diet or supplementation. CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) is an omega-6 fatty acid naturally found in meat and dairy products, widely used by athletes to support metabolic wellness and body composition. The supplements in this category are ideal for anyone looking to support their health with quality nutritional supplements from Citymuscle.

What are the types and sources of Omega fatty acids and CLA?

Our product range includes different formats and sources to suit every need:

• Omega 3 (EPA & DHA): mainly derived from fish oil (salmon, anchovies, sardines). EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function at 250 mg/day; DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision at 250 mg/day.
• Plant-based Omega 3 (ALA): sourced from flaxseed or hemp oil. Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels at 2 g/day.
• Omega 6 & 9: found in borage, sunflower and olive oil. They help support lipid balance and overall wellbeing.
• Combined Omega 3-6-9: softgels combining fish oil, linseed oil and borage oil for a comprehensive supply of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids.
• CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid): a supplement widely used by athletes to support body composition during muscle definition phases.

When and how should you take Omega supplements?

Essential fatty acid supplements are best taken with main meals to improve absorption, as they are fat-soluble. Those who exercise regularly, follow diets low in fish or plant-based healthy fats, or want to support heart health, cognitive function and metabolism can benefit from consistent supplementation. Always follow the usage instructions on each product. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
