Modern diets are much richer in omega-6 than they are in omega-3. Many people therefore supplement in order to compensate for omega-3 deficiencies. The majority of omega-3s are found in fish, particularly oily fish such as salmon or tuna for example. Omega-3 has anti-inflammatory properties, while omega-6 has pro-inflammatory properties. However, in modern diets we tend to consume much more omega-6 than omega-3. Refined vegetable oils such as sunflower oil, soybean oil and corn oil are rich in omega-6, while sources of omega-3 such as fatty fish, flaxseed and Linseed oil is often overlooked. This imbalance favoring omega-6 may contribute to chronic inflammation in the body.
