Erythrocyte Fatty Acids in dried blood, Teletest

Omega test. We currently live in a very fast-paced society where our nutrition is generally deficient in omega 3 fatty acids and excessive in omega 6 fatty acids. This can cause our body to be in constant inflammation. Essential fatty acids are necessary for many functions, the body cannot synthesize them by itself, so they must be obtained through the diet, the only two essential fatty acids for humans are Omega 3 (linolenic acid) and omega 6 (linoleic acid), these are found mainly in oily fish, seeds, vegetable oils, nuts, olive oil and fish. Today supplementing with Omegas has been a fairly widespread practice, we all know that they are good and healthy, but to what extent do we know which of all the fatty acids our body needs? The fatty acid test includes the determination of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. In the last classification, omega 3, omega 5, omega 6, omega 7, omega 9 and trans fatty acids are typified. The sample can be easily obtained at home using a finger prick, i.e. a tiny prick of the finger to obtain a few drops of blood (see video) or by venous extraction in a laboratory (see the product Erythrocyte Fatty Acids in blood). The result offers a detailed evaluation of the current levels of the different fatty acids in the body, With this information it can be supplemented in a precise and safe way.
