Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acid Profile

$30.24 Member price $42.34 Non-member
Excellent 4.8 out of 5

Maps your omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid balance, a modifiable marker tied to cardiovascular and metabolic risk.

Consider this test if:

  • Already taking fish oil and want to confirm it is actually raising your omega-3 level
  • High triglycerides, high cholesterol, hypertension, or a family history of heart disease
  • Eat little oily fish and want to know your baseline omega-3 status
  • HSA/FSA eligible
  • Typical results in about 10 days · Reviewed by a real clinician
  • Drawn at a CLIA/CAP-accredited lab near you ·
Pre-test considerations

Fasting is preferred but not required. If you take fish oil or omega-3 supplements, keep your usual dose and timing consistent so results are comparable across tests, and note them at collection. To track a change, retest after at least 8 to 12 weeks on a steady regimen, since the omega-3 index shifts gradually as fatty acids incorporate into cell membranes.

What this test is for

This profile measures the fatty acids circulating in your blood, including the omega-3s EPA, DHA, and ALA, the omega-6s linoleic and arachidonic acid, plus the key ratios (omega-6 to omega-3, AA/EPA) and the omega-3 index. It reflects what your diet, fish or supplement intake, and metabolism actually deliver to your tissues, which a food diary cannot tell you. A low omega-3 index and a high omega-6 to omega-3 ratio are linked to higher cardiovascular and metabolic risk, and the profile is often run in people with high cholesterol, high triglycerides, hypertension, or elevated overall cardiac risk. Unlike most lipid markers, this one responds quickly to a deliberate change, so it is as useful for tracking a fish-oil regimen as for setting a baseline.

    Frequently asked questions

    View all FAQs
    How does pricing work?

    Every test shows the member price next to the standard non-member price, so you can see what membership saves you. The member price is our cost — covering the lab and what it takes to run the service — never a profit on the test itself; Mito makes its money on the $9 membership, not on marking up your tests. Membership is $9/mo, and you still pay the lab’s order fee. Prices are itemized before you pay, with no hidden fees.

    Where do I get tested?

    Choose a partner lab (Quest, Labcorp, or BioReference) at checkout. If your cart spans multiple tests, we consolidate the whole order onto a single lab so you only make one visit.

    Is this eligible for HSA/FSA?

    Yes. This test is HSA/FSA eligible, and you can pay with your HSA/FSA card at checkout.

    When will I get my results?

    Your results post to your dashboard once your lab completes them, then a clinician reviews them and your full analysis and personalized action plan (with clear next steps) follow. Turnaround varies by test: specialty assays and at-home kits take longer, and each test shows its expected turnaround before you buy.

    Do I need a doctor’s order?

    No. Mito provides the lab order for you, so you can book and get tested without a separate doctor visit.
