Omega-3 Plus
Most of us recognize the importance of omega-3, but how many are aware of the balance between omega-3 and omega-6, or the ratio of saturated to unsaturated fats in our body? The Omega-3 Plus delves deep into your health by examining both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids along with saturated and unsaturated fats.
For those interested in a more comprehensive nutritional analysis, our Nutrition Test is an excellent complement. It measures 8 minerals and 4 ratios between key minerals in whole blood, providing a wider perspective on your nutritional health.

Fatty Acids in Our Body
Omega-3 & Omega-6: These essential polyunsaturated fats play pivotal roles in our bodies, particularly in maintaining brain health and regulating inflammation. However, an imbalance can lead to various health issues.
Saturated & Unsaturated Fats: While saturated fats, predominantly in animal products, can raise cholesterol levels, unsaturated fats, on the other hand, can decrease bad cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease.
What Omega-3 Plus Analyses
Omega-3 Fatty Acids:
- Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA): Fundamental for cell membrane structure.
- Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA): Supports heart health and offers anti-inflammatory benefits.
- Docosapentaenoic acid (DPA): Serves as an intermediary in the ALA to EPA and DHA conversion process.
- Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA): Key for brain development and function.
Omega-6 Fatty Acids:
- Linoleic acid (LA): Integral for cell membrane construction.
- Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA): Enhances skin health.
- Dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA): A precursor to inflammatory components.
- Arachidonic acid (AA): Involved in inflammation processes.
Saturated Fatty Acids:
- Myristic acid (MA)
- Palmitic acid (PA)
- Stearic acid (SA)
Unsaturated Fatty Acids:
- Palmitoleic acid (PLA): Known to lower bad cholesterol, thus benefiting heart health.
- Oleic acid (OA): Similarly helps in reducing bad cholesterol, promoting heart health.
