The Omega-3 Plus Ratios Test is a comprehensive assessment of fatty acid levels in the blood, providing insights into various aspects of health. Here's what it covers:
The Omega-3 Index: This test measures the concentration of EPA and DHA in the red blood cell membrane, reflecting your omega-3 intake and serving as a marker for overall health. Achieving an Omega-3 Index of 8% or higher is ideal for optimal health.
Omega-3 : Omega-6 Ratio: This ratio analyzes the balance between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in your body. A recommended ratio of 3-5:1 promotes a healthy balance of these essential fats.
AA : EPA Ratio: Comparing levels of arachidonic acid (AA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), this ratio influences various metabolic processes, including inflammation and overall health.
With these insights, individuals can make informed decisions about their dietary habits and supplementation to support overall well-being.
