The test results can provide personalized insights into your dietary needs. Based on the findings, you can tailor your diet to increase omega-3 intake and reduce excessive omega-6 consumption, promoting better health.

Performing an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio blood test can provide valuable insights into your overall health and help guide dietary adjustments. Here are the key reasons for conducting this test: Assess Inflammation Levels, Prevent Chronic Diseases, Track Dietary Changes, Improve Mental Health.

The AA (Arachidonic Acid) to EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) ratio is an important marker for understanding the balance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory processes in the body. Here’s why this ratio is significant: A higher AA ratio is associated with an increased risk of chronic inflammatory diseases such as cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and metabolic syndrome.

A lower AA ratio is generally associated with a reduced risk of heart disease and improved heart health outcomes. The balance between AA and EPA also affects brain health. An optimal ratio supports cognitive function and may help prevent or manage mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety.
