In addition, you should consider omega 6, saturated, and trans fatty acids. Omega 3 fatty acids and a good balance between them are necessary for heart and blood vessel health. The omega 3 index test shows how many omega fatty acids your blood contains, clarifies whether there is a healthy balance with other fatty acids, and provides personalized advice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThe ratio of omega 3 and omega 6\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe average Dutch diet contains too much omega 6 and too little omega 3. Omega 6 is found in meat, dairy products, and vegetable oils. An excess of omega 6 promotes inflammation and can thus lead to health problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe ratio between omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids (omega 3 omega 6 ratio) therefore has significant consequences for health; these two types of fats must compete for the same enzymes that convert them into useful substances for the body. Research shows that if the omega 3 and omega 6 ratio is not good, it increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, depression, diabetes, and obesity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat is tested in an omega 3 blood test?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe omega 3 index test is a comprehensive test that examines the essential fatty acids in the blood and also provides insight into the quantity of all other types of fats present in the blood. This blood test therefore looks at, among other things, the amount of omega 3 fatty acids and omega 6 fatty acids in the blood. In the case of omega 3, a distinction is made between: ALA, DPA, EPA, and DHA. For omega 6 fatty acids, LA, GLA, AA, DTA, eicosadienoic acid, and docosapentaenoic acid-n6 are broken down. In the event of a deficiency, this breakdown immediately shows where improvement is possible. Monounsaturated fatty acids, saturated fatty acids, and trans fats are also examined. In short, a comprehensive blood test that looks at all fats in the blood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTesting your omega 3, how does it work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWould you like to know if your blood contains enough omega 3?
