Special Instructions:
It is not necessary to discontinue nutritional supplements prior to this test. Abnormalities that may be found will reveal special needs that have not been met by recent dietary and supplemental intake
Description:
This non-invasive whole blood assessment evaluates the balance between omega-3, omega-9, omega-6, saturated, and monounsaturated fatty acids including trans fats. Important ratios are also calculated to give vital insight into cardiovascular risk. A dynamic pathway chart is included to show each step in fatty acid metabolism while outlining the vitamin and mineral cofactors necessary for optimizing the desaturase and elongase enzymes.

AA (Arachidonic Acid) ALA (Alpha-Linolenic Acid) DGLA (Dihomogamma Linolenic Acid) DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) GLA (Gamma Linolenic Acid) LA (Linoleic Acid) Total C:18 Trans-Isomers
