Polyunsaturated fatty acids possess extremely potent biologic activities and their homeostatic functions in regulating blood vessel leaking, lipid accumulation and immune cell behavior are relevant to the initiation and progress of heart and blood vessel disease.

Fatty Acids

Essential & Metabolic Fatty Acids Analysis

Fatty acids are critical for normal human function including playing a role in the development of the brain. Fatty acids serve as a source of energy, structural components for nerves and cell membranes, and as precursors to hormones. A correct balance of essential and non-essential fatty acids can improve health and extend active years.

Modern diets are low in essential fats and high in saturated fats. The effects of this diet are not immediately felt as the protective mechanisms of the body try maintain balance, and as a result symptoms associated with deficiencies are often insidious and go unrecognised.  The Fatty Acids Screen reveals long-term balance in the cell membranes, including brain tissue and allows prognosis for response to supplementation and dietary change. 

Analysis is useful in prevention and treatment of:

  • Heart Disease, high blood pressure
