What are Omega-9 Fatty Acids?
Omega-9 fatty acids are a class of unsaturated fatty acids that have a carbon-carbon double bond in the 9th carbon atom position from the end of the fatty acid. Omega-9 fatty acids are NON-ESSENTIAL in that they can be created by the human body from unsaturated fat and, therefore, are not essential to be consumed in the diet. They are common components of animal fat and vegetable oils and have no known medical value.
