EPA
Omega-3 your body needs from food. It’s easily incorporated in your cell membranes and used throughout the body to support normal cell function and heart health.

DHA
Omega-3 your body needs from food. It becomes part of your cell membranes easily, and helps support normal brain and vision function.

Omega-6
Essential fatty acids your body needs from food. We mainly use it for energy, immune support and to build healthy cell membranes.

Reflects the balance between essential Omega-6 and Omega-3 fats in your blood – key influencers of inflammation that shape your body’s immune and repair responses.
 
2. Total fatty acid profile score

3. Omega-3 index

5. Cell membrane health
Estimates your cellular function and ability to absorb nutrients, based on the balance of saturated and fluid Omega-3 fats in your blood.

6. Arachidonic Acid (AA) Index
