What are polyunsaturated Omega-3 fatty acids?

Polyunsaturated Omega-3 fatty acids are a group of essential fatty acids, including ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). They are termed “essential” because the body cannot synthesize them; they must be obtained through the diet. Omega-3s are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and their role in heart and brain health.

Who would benefit from testing polyunsaturated Omega-3 fatty acids levels?
  • Individuals with a history of cardiovascular diseases
  • People with neuropsychiatric disorders (like depression)
  • Those with inflammatory conditions or autoimmune diseases
  • People following a vegetarian or vegan diet, who might not get enough EPA and DHA
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women, due to the role of Omega-3 in fetal and infant development
What is the role of polyunsaturated Omega-3 fatty acids in the body?

Omega-3 fatty acids are crucial components of cell membranes throughout the body and affect the function of cell receptors in these membranes. They provide the starting point for making hormones that regulate blood clotting, contraction and relaxation of artery walls, and inflammation. Omega-3s also bind to receptors in cells that regulate genetic function, which is why they are so crucial for brain function and development, as well as maintaining cardiovascular health.

What are symptoms of polyunsaturated Omega-3 fatty acids deficiency?

A deficiency in Omega-3 fatty acids can lead to:

  • Dry, itchy skin or dermatitis
  • Poor memory, cognitive issues, or mood swings
  • Fatigue
  • Poor vision
  • Heart problems
  • Increased inflammation, potentially exacerbating symptoms of autoimmune diseases
