Available Biomarkers
Omega - 3 Index $71.50 Excl. GST
The Omega-3 Index blood test measures the percentage of EPA and DHA, two important omega-3 fatty acids, in your red blood cells. This test gives you a personalized assessment of your omega-3 status and helps you understand how your diet and lifestyle choices are affecting your health. Maintaining an optimal Omega-3 Index has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other chronic conditions. With this information, you can make informed decisions about your diet and supplement choices to improve your overall health and well-being. We recommend testing and re-testing in 3 to 4 months to confirm you are getting the right mix of fats in your diet.
Omega - 6 : Omega - 3 Ratio $65.00 Excl. GST
The omega 6:3 ratio is a direct comparison of the relative amount of the pro-inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids in your cell’s membranes relative to the anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids. This ratio reflects closely how much omega-3 you are getting in your diet relative to omega-6. A healthy ratio should be 4:1 or even less. Higher omega 6:3 ratios perpetuate chronic low-grade inflammation, pro-thrombotic and pro-allergic responses and are therefore linked to increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), hypertension, atherosclerosis, stroke, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cancer, allergies, and autoimmune reactions. Reducing your omega-6:3 ratio, particularly through reductions in your intake of refined omega-6 seed oil, and increasing the intake of omega-3s, either through diet or supplementation, is one effective strategy for reducing inflammation and the risk of disease.
Total Membrane Fatty Acids $120.89 Excl. GST
Essential fatty acids and their polyunsaturated derivatives have a structural role in cell membranes, influencing their fluidity and membrane enzyme activities. The study of fatty acid composition of red blood cell (RBC) membranes can be considered an appropriate biomarker for investigating not only dietary intake but also the relations between the patterns of fatty acid metabolism and specific diseases. We analyse the lipid composition of mature RBC membranes. Because these cells last on average 120 days in the blood, compared to 3 weeks for platelet or plasma lipids, RBC fatty acid analysis reflects better long-term dietary fatty acid intake and tissue conditions. In our report we provide a comprehensive report of the relative amounts of the 16 most relevant fatty acids as well as the omega-3 Index and omega-6:3 ratio.
Other Available Tests
Omega - 6 : Omega - 3 Ratio + Omega - 3 Index / $85.00 Excl. GST
Arachidonic Acid : Eicosapentaenoic Acid Ratio / $71.50 Excl. GST
