Roll Call does not check drug interactions or assess personal safety.
A category name for monounsaturated fatty acids, most commonly oleic acid, found in olive oil, canola oil, and other plant oils. Unlike omega-3 and omega-6 fats, the body can synthesize omega-9 fats on its own, so they are not considered essential nutrients.
Why it’s used
Taken as a dietary fat source, often associated with diets like the Mediterranean pattern that are studied for cardiovascular health.
What the evidence says
Because omega-9 fats are not essential, there is no deficiency or established supplement dose to correct. Population studies link diets high in monounsaturated fat to favorable cardiovascular markers, but this reflects overall dietary pattern rather than evidence for an isolated omega-9 supplement ingredient.

This says what this database holds under these terms. It is not a finding that no research exists.
Context
Most of the supporting research concerns whole dietary patterns (such as olive-oil-rich diets) rather than isolated omega-9 supplementation, making it hard to translate into a specific studied dose.
