Omega 3 and 6 - fatty acid test
1 100 kr
Omega 3 (Alpha-linolenic acid) and omega 6 (Linoleic acid) are two essential fatty acids, which means that they cannot be synthesized in the body and must be supplied through food.
Functionally, the fatty acids have completely different physiological functions in the body. Omega 3 reduces inflammation while omega 6 is said to promote inflammation in the body. The balance (ratio) between them is therefore very important. We therefore offer sampling for both omega 3 and omega 6.
What is measured?
In our test, we measure 15 markers, different omega-3 fatty acids, different omega-6 fatty acids, total omega 3 & 6 as well as ration and index.
How much omega-3 you need is very individual and depends on your level of omega-6 as they work together. While Omega 3 reduces inflammation, Omega 6 instead promotes inflammation. That's why you want to know your individual ratio, i.e. the balance (ratio) between Omega 3 and Omega 6.
