06

Private and anonymous

A BalanceTest ID only you can see. Neither the lab nor Zinzino knows whose sample it is.

The number that matters

The Omega-6:3 Balance, read directly.

The balance divides the Omega-6 fatty acid AA by the Omega-3 EPA, and you want it below 3 to 1.

A low balance of Omega-6 and Omega-3 is important for maintaining normal cell and tissue development, and helps the body control inflammation. If your ratio sits above 3:1, you will benefit from a change in your diet.

BalanceTest reads it from your own blood, alongside your Omega-3 Index and Protection Value, so you are working from your numbers rather than an average.

The targets to aim for

< 3:1
Omega-6:3 Balance (AA / EPA)
≥ 8%
Omega-3 Index (EPA + DHA)
> 90
Protection Value (0 to 100)
< 4:1
Cell membrane fluidity

Target values as defined on the Zinzino BalanceTest page. The Protection Value speaks only to fatty acid balance, not overall health status.

What it measures

Eleven acids, six markers.

The test reads saturated, Omega-9, Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids from your dried blood spot. Each is shown as a percentage of your total, then read against the target range of a balanced group.
