Advanced Omega 3 & 6

This test analyses your fatty acid profile. It measures Omega-3 Index, Omega 3:6 Ratio, and ARA/EPA Ratio, to show how well your diet supports a healthy fat balance.

Your Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acid balance is essential for heart health, brain function, inflammation control and overall wellbeing.

The Advanced Omega-3 & 6 Test provides a detailed analysis of your blood fatty acid profile, including:

• Omega-3 Index - measures key anti-inflammatory fats

• Omega-3:6 Ratio - shows balance between essential fatty acids

• ARA/EPA Ratio - insight into inflammatory and cardiovascular risk

Understanding these markers can help you see whether your diet and lifestyle are supporting a healthy fatty acid balance and guide personalised health decisions.

This test can be added to any full body health check and must be booked by phone. Call us free on 0800 652 2183 to schedule your Advanced Omega-3 & 6 Test today.

What does the Advanced Omega-3 & 6 Test show?

The Advanced Omega-3 & 6 Test measures key blood fatty acid markers to give insight into your heart, brain, and overall health:

• Omega-3 Index - the percentage of EPA and DHA in red blood cells. Higher levels are linked to better heart health, cognitive function and reduced inflammation.

• Omega-3:6 Ratio - highlights the balance between Omega-3 and Omega-6. Helps identify if you need to increase Omega-3 intake (from oily fish or supplements) and reduce excessive Omega-6 from processed foods and seed oils.

• ARA/EPA Ratio - shows the balance between pro-inflammatory (ARA) and anti-inflammatory (EPA) fatty acids. A lower ratio indicates a more balanced fatty acid profile.

Why take this test?

Modern diets can lead to high Omega-6 and low Omega-3 levels, increasing inflammation and long-term health risks. This test provides a clear picture of your fatty acid balance, helping you make informed dietary and lifestyle choices.
