omega-9
Olive oil component
Omega-9 refers to a class of unsaturated fatty acids with a double bond at the ninth carbon from the omega end of the molecule.
Unlike omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, omega-9s are not essential—the body can produce them.
Oleic acid, found abundantly in olive oil, is the most common omega-9: Omega-9 fatty acids support heart health.
