In general, omega-3s are anti-inflammatory, and omega-6s are pro-inflammation. Unfortunately in the UK, there are very few regular sources of omega-3 naturally in our diet, and omega-6 is everywhere in abundance. This has led to a dramatic rise in chronic inflammation and inflammatory conditions.
Using just a few drops of dried blood that you can collect at home and send in the post, this lab test measures your omega-3 index (omega 6:3 ratio and AA:EPA ratio with results representative of your levels over the last 120 days).
A fundamental test which everyone would benefit from carrying out to optimise their omega-3 levels.
