Description

Understand your heart health with lipid metabolism analysis

Use the fatty acid analysis to measure the status of your body's fatty acid supply. Fatty acids and cholesterol play an important role in cardiovascular disease and inflammation, which is why your intake should be carefully monitored. In particular, the ratios of certain fatty acids to one another provide information about your health status.

With this home test from DoctorBox you can check which fatty acids you consume and in what concentration. 

Together with your total cholesterol level, we use the fatty acid analysis to analyze the four most important fatty acid categories in your body and their ratios: saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6 fatty acids. With this home test, you will receive a laboratory evaluation with detailed and easy-to-understand recommendations for action.

Omega-3 and omega-6 in balance

Fatty acid balance influences heart, brain and inflammation

What is it?

Long-chain omega-3 fatty acid from fish and algae. It modulates inflammation and lowers triglycerides; cardioprotective at high doses in studies.

Who should test

To assess omega-3 supply and inflammatory balance, with little fish intake, a vegan diet, cardiovascular risk, pregnancy or inflammatory disease.

Possible signs

An unfavourable fatty acid balance causes no acute symptoms; it is a long-term risk factor for cardiovascular disease and inflammatory processes.

How to read it

Measurement in red blood cells reflects supply over the past weeks to months and is more stable than a plasma value.

Next steps

Two portions of oily sea fish per week or algae/fish oil supplements improve values within about three months; re-check afterwards.

General orientation only. This does not replace medical advice or diagnosis.
