Omega-3 and -6 Blood Test
Omega-3 and -6 Blood Test
The Omega-3 and -6 Blood Test measures the levels of essential fatty acids in your blood, specifically omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are crucial for maintaining heart health, brain function, and reducing inflammation. These fats cannot be made by the body and must be obtained through diet or supplements. Research from leading institutions such as Harvard Medical School and King’s College London underscores the importance of balancing omega-3 and omega-6 levels, as an imbalance can contribute to chronic inflammation, cardiovascular disease, and mental health disorders. Regular testing allows you to understand your fatty acid status, tailor your nutrition, and optimise overall wellbeing.
What Does This Test For?
This test evaluates the levels of omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids in your bloodstream to determine whether you have a healthy balance of these fats. It identifies deficiencies or imbalances that could contribute to chronic inflammation, cardiovascular problems, or impaired brain function. By understanding your fatty acid status, you and your healthcare provider can make informed decisions about diet or supplements to promote heart health, reduce inflammation, and support overall wellbeing.
