This panel provides a measurement of 24 of fatty acid levels, the Omega 6/Omega 3 ratio, and the AA/EPA ratio. Essential fatty acids play a vital role in maintaining heart health, reducing inflammation, and supporting overall cardiovascular function A low Omega 3 Index has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, while optimal levels can contribute to improved heart health and overall well-being. Omega-6:Omega-3 ratio is calculated by dividing the sum of 7 omega-6 fatty acids by the sum of 4 omega-3 fatty acids. AA:EPA ratio consists of arachidonic acid (AA, 20:4n-6) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n-3)
