Fatty Acids Profile, Plasma

Why Test Fatty Acids?

• Improve patient compliance: Testing guides and supports your recommendations for higher doses of fatty acid supplements
• Inflammatory balance: Improper fatty acid intake affects the balance of anti- and pro-inflammatory eicosanoids, increasing health risks
• Increased free radical production: Consumption of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) without increasing antioxidant intake will cause increased production of free radicals.

Performing Laboratory is Genova Diagnostics.

Please note that the Fatty Acids Profile, Plasma test requires a blood draw. There will be additional blood draw fees associated with the specimen collection from the local laboratory/clinic that performs the draw.
