What is OMEGA 6/3 RATIO WITH OMEGA 3 INDEX, EDTA BLOOD?

This comprehensive test evaluates the critical balance between Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids in your blood, along with your Omega-3 Index. It provides a crucial snapshot of your dietary fat intake and its impact on your cellular health and inflammatory responses.

Why is this test important?

An optimal Omega 6/3 ratio is vital for managing inflammation and supporting cardiovascular, brain, and immune health. The Omega-3 Index specifically measures the percentage of EPA and DHA in red blood cells, indicating your long-term Omega-3 status and risk for certain health issues, guiding personalized interventions.

Fasting for 8-12 hours prior to the blood sample collection is usually required. Please consult with your healthcare provider for specific instructions.
