Inflammation & Heart Health
Omega-3 & Inflammation Test
Also known as: Omega-6:Omega-3 and AA:EPA fatty acid ratios
Your omega-3 to omega-6 balance — a window into inflammation and heart health.
Cholesterol and blood pressure don't tell the whole heart-health story. The balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fats in your cell membranes influences inflammation, mood, skin, joints, and cardiovascular health.
What it measures
Fatty Acid Balance
- Omega-6:Omega-3 ratioOverall inflammatory vs. anti-inflammatory fat balance.
- Arachidonic acid (AA):EPA ratioA cellular marker of inflammation, driven up by processed, fried foods; around 5:1 or lower is considered optimal.
Who this is for
For anyone with joint, skin, or mood concerns — or a family history of heart disease — who wants to see inflammation at the cell level.
- Joint aches or stiffness
- Dry skin or eyes
- Low mood or poor focus
- Family history of heart disease
- Rarely eating fatty fish
