Essential Fatty Acid Profile Test

What is a Essential Fatty Acid Profile Test?

Your body can't make omega 3 and omega 6 essential fatty acids. These fatty acids must come from your food and play a critical role in brain function and immune and inflammation responses. Inflammation is known to influence many modern diseases.

Omega 3s have numerous health benefits, including:

  • The prevention of cardiovascular disease by lowering triglycerides,

  • Cholesterol regulation

  • Blood pressure control

  • Preventing the build of atherosclerotic plaques.

  • Inflammation control

  • Reduce the risk of autoimmune conditions

It's essential to integrate good sources of omega-3 and omega-6s into your diet and consume them in the proper ratio. Omega-6 fatty acids compete with omega-3s and can inhibit their effect. Ideally, the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 should be 2:1, but the typical Western diet represents a ratio closer to 16:1 and above due to the processed foods and oils in our diets. Research indicates this imbalance is responsible for several inflammatory diseases, such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Recent studies also show that a high omega-6 to omega-3 ratio plays a vital role in the development of obesity.
