About the Test
This test measures omega-6 fatty acids in the blood, a group of essential fats obtained from foods such as vegetable oils, nuts and seeds. Omega-6 fats are needed for normal function, but their balance with omega-3 fats is often of interest for overall dietary and inflammatory health. Testing gives insight into your omega-6 status and, alongside omega-3 measures, your fatty-acid balance.
What is it? A blood test measuring omega-6 fatty acids, essential fats from vegetable oils, nuts and seeds.

- Assess your omega-6 fatty acid status from diet
- Understand your omega-6 to omega-3 balance when tested together

How to prepare for the Omega 6 fatty acid test
No fasting is required unless combined with a fasting lipid panel. Keep to your usual diet and supplements in the days before the test so the result reflects your normal intake, unless advised otherwise.
Understanding your Omega 6 fatty acid results
Omega-6 results are most useful in the context of your overall fatty-acid balance, particularly relative to omega-3, rather than as a single figure. Your doctor or nutrition adviser will interpret the level alongside your diet and health before suggesting any changes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Anything else? Ask on WhatsApp — we usually reply in three minutes.
Both are essential fats, but their relative balance is often discussed in relation to diet and inflammation. This is why omega-6 is frequently interpreted alongside omega-3 rather than on its own.
As a specialised fatty-acid analysis, your doctor-reviewed result is delivered on WhatsApp and email within 15 to 20 days of the home collection.
Fasting is not usually required unless the test is combined with a fasting lipid panel. Maintaining your normal diet helps the result reflect your typical intake.
Vegetable oils such as sunflower and corn oil, along with many nuts and seeds, are common sources. Your dietary pattern influences your blood omega-6 level.
Often yes. Because the balance between omega-6 and omega-3 is a key focus, many people test both to get a fuller picture, which your nutrition adviser can help interpret.
