The Omega 3/6 index measures the ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids in your blood, providing insights into your overall fatty acid balance and cardiovascular health. A higher omega-3 index is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease and inflammation. This test is particularly important for individuals seeking to optimize their diet for heart health. Understanding your omega-3/6 index can help guide dietary choices and supplementation for better overall health.

"High levels of Omega-3 fatty acids are important for good heart, brain, and joint health. Indeed, research has shown that optimal levels of Omega-3s can decrease one’s risk for heart disease, stroke, dementia, and depression. The typical American diet is low in Omega-3 fatty acids leading to chronic low blood levels in the majority of the population. Fortunately, levels can be improved via supplementation and simple dietary changes." - Dr. Alan Hopkins
