Essential Fatty Acids Test

$229 SGD
Your body can't make omega 3 and omega 6 essential fatty acids and these must come from the food you eat. These essential fatty acids play a critical role in brain function, and immune and inflammation responses.
Adequate intake of omega 3s

Omega 3s have numerous health benefits

most notably in the prevention of cardiovascular disease by lowering triglycerides, regulating cholesterol, lowering blood pressure and preventing the build of atherosclerotic plaques. There is also evidence that omega 3s can combat mental disorders and their progression, reduce inflammation, reduce the risk of autoimmune conditions, and are also associated with lowered cancer risks.

Omega 3 to Omega 6 ratio

Good sources of omega-3s and omega-6s should be consumed 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 around 2:1, but the typical Western diet is closer to 16:1 due to processed foods and oils. This imbalance may be responsible for a number of inflammatory diseases such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes, and play a key role in the development of obesity.
