What is the Omega 3-6-9 ratio of Organic Grass-fed Whey?

Follow

Great question! 🤓

Because Natural Force Organic Grass-Fed Whey is made from milk sourced from grass-fed cows, it naturally contains small amounts of omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids.

While Organic Grass-Fed Whey is primarily purchased for its high-quality protein content, these naturally occurring fatty acids are also present as part of the milk fat fraction.

What Is the Approximate Omega Fatty Acid Ratio?

Based on product testing, the approximate omega-3 : omega-6 : omega-9 ratio is:

2 : 7 : 33

Because these fatty acids occur naturally, the exact values may vary slightly from batch to batch.

How Is This Calculated?

The ratio is derived from the fatty acid composition of the milk fat naturally present in Organic Grass-Fed Whey.

Based on product testing, the approximate fatty acid content per serving is:

• Omega-3 Fatty Acids: ~0.98 mg
• Omega-6 Fatty Acids: ~3.68 mg
• Omega-9 Fatty Acids: ~16.5 mg

These values are estimates and are provided for informational purposes only.

Is Organic Grass-Fed Whey a Significant Source of Omega Fatty Acids?

No.

Organic Grass-Fed Whey is primarily a source of high-quality protein and essential amino acids.

Although it naturally contains small amounts of omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids, it is not intended to be used as a primary source of dietary omega fats.

If your goal is to increase omega-3 intake, we recommend obtaining omega fats from foods and supplements specifically intended for that purpose.

For example, fatty fish such as salmon, sardines, and mackerel are excellent dietary sources of omega-3s. We also offer Pure Omega-3 made from sustainably sourced wild-caught fish.
