Palmitic acid, C16:0, saturated fat
Stearic acid, C18:0, saturated fat
Oleic acid, C18:1, Omega-9
Linoleic acid, C18:2, Omega-6
Alpha-linolenic acid, C18:3, Omega-3
Gamma-linolenic acid, C18:3, Omega-6
Dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid, C20:3, Omega-6
Arachidonic acid (AA), C20:4, Omega-6
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), C20:5, Omega-3
Docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), C22:5, Omega-3
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), C22:6, Omega-3
The test calculates recognised indicators such as the Omega-6:3 Balance, Omega-3 Index, Protection Value, cell membrane fluidity, mental strength value, and the arachidonic acid index. Each result is presented alongside target reference values to help you understand your current status and track your development over time.
Certified under European regulation 98/79/EC for in-vitro diagnostic medical devices, BalanceTest offers a reliable and convenient way to assess your fatty acid levels and support long-term nutritional awareness from home.
