Question 1

What is the Omega 6:3 ratio, and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

The omega 6:3 ratio measures the balance between pro-inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids and anti-inflammatory omega-3s in your body. A healthy balance (ideally around 3:1 or lower) supports heart, brain, joint, immune, and cellular health. Most people have a much higher ratio due to modern diets—often 15:1 or worse—leading to chronic inflammation and increased health risks.

Question 2

What if my Omega 6:3 ratio is already in balance?

Accepted Answer

That’s great news! If your results show you're already in balance, it means your current diet and lifestyle are effectively supporting your health. In this case, the cost of the whole order is refunded, which is a nice bonus.

That said, 99% of people who test for the first time are not in balance—so testing is a valuable way to know for sure, rather than guess. Even if you're currently balanced, ongoing support with high-quality omega-3 can help maintain that balance long-term, especially as dietary and lifestyle factors shift over time.

Question 3

Is the Omega 6:3 test accurate?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The dried blood spot test is analyzed by an independent, third-party laboratory using advanced liquid chromatography. It provides a reliable, detailed breakdown of 11 fatty acid levels, your balance score, and dietary guidance. It’s the same type of testing used in scientific studies and clinical settings.

To ensure accuracy over time, results are regularly compared against live blood samples, confirming that this method continues to deliver precise and trustworthy results.

Question 4

What happens after I take the test?

Accepted Answer

Once your test is processed, you’ll receive a personalized report online that shows your current fatty acid profile, your Omega 6:3 ratio, and suggestions for improvement. Once you start the omega-3 supplement, you can re-test after 4–6 months to measure your progress.

Question 5

How does the Omega 6:3 ratio affect my cells?

Accepted Answer

Your omega 6:3 ratio plays a vital role in the health of your cell membranes. When you're in balance, your cell membranes become more fluid and functional—this means nutrients can enter your cells more efficiently, and waste products can exit more effectively.

If your ratio is out of balance, cell membranes become stiff and inflamed, making it harder for your cells to function properly. This cellular dysfunction can contribute to fatigue, poor recovery, chronic inflammation, and many other health concerns.
