What do we test for?
Omega-3 Fatty Acids (EPA & DHA)
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are anti-inflammatory polyunsaturated fats vital for heart, brain and joint health. Measuring these helps assess dietary intake and the effectiveness of supplements.
Omega-6 Fatty Acids (Linoleic Acid & Arachidonic Acid)
Linoleic acid (LA) and arachidonic acid (AA) support skin integrity, cell signalling and metabolism. Tracking omega-6 levels is key to maintaining a healthy balance with omega-3s.
Omega-6 to Omega-3 Ratio
The ratio between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids indicates inflammatory balance. A lower ratio is often linked to reduced inflammation and better overall health.
