Omega 3 & 6 Fatty Acids

Omega 3 and Omega 6 are the only fatty acids which your body cannot produce itself. As such, their consumption in your diet is essential.

• Omega-3s are a group of fatty acids (a.k.a. lipids) essential for life, and part of the composition of vital organs of our body. They are mostly found in oily fish, in addition to many seeds and oils such as flaxseed, walnut or vegetable oils.
• Linoleic acid is the predominant n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) in the Western diet and we can obtain it from vegetable oils such as sunflower, safflower, soybean, corn, and canola oils as well as nuts and seeds.

This  test measures the ratio of these essential nutrients, and allows you to check that the levels your body requires are being provided by your diet.
