What are polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acids?

Omega-6 fatty acids are a family of polyunsaturated fats, including linoleic acid (LA) and arachidonic acid (AA), which are essential for human health. The body cannot synthesize these fats; they must be obtained through diet. Omega-6s are important for brain function, skin and hair growth, bone health, and regulation of metabolism.

Who would benefit from testing polyunsaturated Omega-6 fatty acids levels?
  • Individuals with diets low in essential fatty acids or with unbalanced Omega-3 to Omega-6 ratios.
  • People with chronic inflammatory conditions, as Omega-6s can influence inflammation.
  • Those with skin and hair health issues.
  • Individuals with hormonal imbalances or reproductive health issues.
  • People with cardiovascular risk factors or metabolic disorders.
What is the role of polyunsaturated Omega-6 fatty acids in the body?

Omega-6 fatty acids are components of cell membranes, affecting cell signaling and structural integrity. Linoleic acid, an Omega-6 fat, is converted into arachidonic acid in the body, which is involved in inflammatory and immune responses. While essential, a balanced intake of Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids is important, as excessive Omega-6 can lead to heightened inflammation.

What are the symptoms of polyunsaturated Omega-6 fatty acids deficiency?
  • Dry, itchy skin or eczema.
  • Hair loss or poor hair quality.
  • Slow wound healing.
  • Increased susceptibility to infections.
