Test guide

You may be at risk for health problems if you don’t have optimal fatty acid levels. Fatty acids are the building blocks for fat molecules in your body. You need these for energy, vitamin absorption, and brain function.

They also play an important role in regulating inflammation and maintaining a healthy immune system.

Find out your levels today! Recheck 2 to 3 months after any dietary changes.
