Because your health matters
Your fatty acid balance plays a key role in inflammation, heart health, brain function and overall wellbeing. The Advanced Omega-3 & 6 Test provides a detailed analysis of your body’s fatty acid profile, including the Omega-3 Index, Omega-3:6 Ratio and ARA/EPA Ratio. These markers reveal how well your diet supports a healthy balance of fats and whether adjustments are needed.
Please note: this test can be added to any full body health check and can only be booked by phone. Call us free on 0800 652 2183 to book.

What does the Advanced Omega-3 & 6 Test tell you?
This test measures key fatty acid markers in your blood:
-
Omega-3 Index: Shows the percentage of EPA and DHA in your red blood cell membranes. Higher levels are linked to better heart health, cognitive performance and reduced inflammation.
-
Omega-3:6 Ratio: This highlights the balance between Omega-6 and Omega-3 and will help you to understand if you need to reduce your Omega 6 intake (from processed foods and seed oils) and increase your Omega 3 levels.
-
ARA/EPA Ratio: This ratio reflects the balance between pro-inflammatory (ARA) and anti-inflammatory (EPA) fatty acids. A lower ratio means a more balanced fatty acid profile.
Why take this
test?
Modern diets often lead to excess Omega-6 and insufficient Omega-3 intake, increasing inflammation and chronic disease risk. This test provides a clear picture of your fatty acid balance, helping you take proactive steps for better health.
Why is this
important?
Omega-3 and Omega-6 fats play a vital role in heart, brain and immune health. Imbalances can contribute to inflammation and long-term health issues. Understanding your ratios helps you make informed dietary choices to restore balance.
Next
steps:
Your results will be colour-coded for easy interpretation, with clear explanations and actionable advice. If imbalances are detected, increasing oily fish or high-quality Omega-3 supplements can help improve your profile.
