Fatty acids.omega 6/Fatty acids.omega 3

This test measures the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids in your blood—both essential fats crucial for health. The ratio reflects your dietary balance: excessive omega-6 relative to omega-3 may promote inflammation, while a lower ratio is generally considered healthier. Modern diets often contain too much omega-6 (from vegetable oils, processed foods) and too little omega-3 (from fish, flaxseed). Optimizing this ratio supports heart, brain, and joint health.
