What does the Advanced Omega-3 & 6 Test show?
The Advanced Omega-3 & 6 Test measures key blood fatty acid markers to give insight into your heart, brain, and overall health:
-
Omega-3 Index – the percentage of EPA and DHA in red blood cells. Higher levels are linked to better heart health, cognitive function and reduced inflammation.
-
Omega-3:6 Ratio – highlights the balance between Omega-3 and Omega-6. Helps identify if you need to increase Omega-3 intake (from oily fish or supplements) and reduce excessive Omega-6 from processed foods and seed oils.
-
ARA/EPA Ratio – shows the balance between pro-inflammatory (ARA) and anti-inflammatory (EPA) fatty acids. A lower ratio indicates a more balanced fatty acid profile.
Why take this test?
Modern diets can lead to high Omega-6 and low Omega-3 levels, increasing inflammation and long-term health risks. This test provides a clear picture of your fatty acid balance, helping you make informed dietary and lifestyle choices.
Why it matters
Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are essential for:
-
Heart and cardiovascular health
-
Brain function and cognition
-
Immune system support
Imbalances can contribute to inflammation, fatigue,and chronic disease risk. Knowing your ratios allows you to take proactive steps to restore balance.
Next steps
Your results are colour-coded for easy interpretation, with actionable advice. If your profile shows an imbalance, recommendations may include increasing oily fish intake or taking high-quality Omega-3 supplements.
