The BalanceTest is designed to provide documented information about your fatty acid profile, including 11 different fatty acids such as Omega‑3. It also gives you an overview of your Omega‑6:3 ratio. This information can help you better understand your nutritional status and compare your results over time.

Yes. The BalanceTest is a scientifically based home test designed to provide documented information about your fatty acid profile. All blood samples are independently managed and analyzed anonymously by Vitas, a GMP‑certified chemical analysis contract laboratory based in Oslo, Norway. Vitas has more than 25 years of experience in chromatographic analytical services and applies rigorous methods in line with international laboratory standards. The laboratory originates from the Department of Nutrition at the University of Oslo and is recognized for its expertise in dried blood spot testing, having collaborated with international organizations such as the World Health Organization.

Lifestyle and daily routines can influence your nutritional status. Because it takes about 120 days for cells in the body to renew, we recommend repeating the BalanceTest every 4 months. This allows you to compare your Omega‑6:3 ratio over time and see how it changes if your circumstances or diet have shifted.
