Sample Report:
Essential fatty acids are fats that the body needs but cannot make on its own, so they must come from food or other sources. The balance and levels of different fatty acids can be useful information when reviewing nutrition and overall health. This test looks at several groups of fatty acids, rather than focusing only on Omega 3 and Omega 6.
The 31 parameters include Omega 3 fatty acids, Omega 6 fatty acids, saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids and trans fatty acids, as well as important ratios and indexes. Looking at these groups together provides a broader picture of the fatty acid profile measured in the blood sample. The report can help you review your EFA levels and discuss the findings in the context of your health and nutrition goals.
This test may be of interest to individuals with known cardiovascular disease or risks for CVD, as well as those interested in nutritional testing for overall health. It may also be considered by individuals with autoimmune conditions, depression, autism or ADHD, as listed above. The test provides information about fatty acid levels; it should be considered alongside other relevant health information.
The testing process begins when you buy the Fatty Acids Test. The kit will be sent to your address, and once you receive it, the team will guide you through the next steps. A blood sample is required. The stated turnaround time is 8 to 10 days.
Please follow the preparation instructions before sample collection: fasting for 10 to 12 hours is recommended, alcohol should not be consumed for 24 hours before testing, and heavy exercise should be avoided for 12 hours before testing.
