Biomarkers included in our Omega-3 & 6 blood test
Our Omega-3 & 6 blood test gives you more clarity on important health markers and flags signals worth a closer look.
The Ahead Health check-up can show signs of certain diseases but is not conclusive or definitive for all conditions, may require follow-up tests, and does not replace other medical check-ups.

AA / DGLA Ratio
This ratio reflects the conversion efficiency from DGLA to arachidonic acid and the balance between anti- and pro-inflammatory omega-6 metabolites.
Metabolism
AA / EPA Ratio
This ratio compares arachidonic acid (pro-inflammatory omega-6) to eicosapentaenoic acid (anti-inflammatory omega-3).
Alpha-Linolenic Acid (18:3, ALA)
Alpha-linolenic acid is a plant-derived omega-3 fatty acid found in flaxseed, chia, and walnuts. It serves as a metabolic precursor for longer-chain omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA and DHA.
Dihomo-Gamma-Linolenic Acid (20:3, DGLA)
DGLA is a key omega-6 fatty acid formed from GLA. It produces anti-inflammatory prostaglandins and acts as a metabolic balance point between GLA and arachidonic acid.
Docosadienoic Acid (22:2, DDA)
DDA is a long-chain omega-6 fatty acid found in small amounts in the blood. It is part of your overall omega-6 balance.
Docosahexaenoic Acid (22:6, DHA)
DHA is a structural omega-3 fatty acid essential for brain, eye, and nerve function. It is abundant in neuronal membranes and supports cell signaling.
Docosapentaenoic Acid (22:5, DPA)
DPA is a long-chain omega-3 fatty acid formed as an intermediate between EPA and DHA. It contributes to anti-inflammatory and endothelial-protective effects.
Eicosadienoic Acid (20:2, EDA)
Eicosadienoic acid is a less common omega-6 fatty acid derived from linoleic acid metabolism.
Eicosapentaenoic Acid (20:5, EPA)
EPA is a long-chain omega-3 fatty acid mainly found in fatty fish. It helps regulate inflammation and supports heart and blood vessel health.
Eicosatrienoic Acid (20:3, ETA)
Eicosatrienoic acid is an intermediate omega-3 fatty acid formed during the conversion of ALA to EPA. It contributes to anti-inflammatory lipid signaling pathways.
Gamma-Linolenic Acid (18:3, GLA)
GLA is an omega-6 fatty acid found in certain plant oils such as evening primrose and borage. It helps maintain a healthy inflammatory balance.
Linoleic Acid (18:2, LA)
Linoleic acid is the primary dietary omega-6 fatty acid found in vegetable oils, nuts, and seeds. It is a precursor for arachidonic acid and other signaling lipids.
Omega-6 / Omega-3 Ratio
This ratio compares total omega-6 to total omega-3 fatty acids, reflecting the overall balance of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory lipid mediators.
Total Omega-3 Fatty Acids
This sum represents all major omega-3 fatty acids (ALA, EPA, DPA, DHA) in the blood.
Total Omega-6 Fatty Acids
This sum measures total omega-6 fatty acids including linoleic acid, GLA, DGLA, and arachidonic acid.
Arachidonic Acid (20:4, AA)
AA is a polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid that serves as a precursor to numerous pro-inflammatory and vasoactive mediators.
AA / DGLA Ratio
This ratio reflects the conversion efficiency from DGLA to arachidonic acid and the balance between anti- and pro-inflammatory omega-6 metabolites.
Metabolism
AA / EPA Ratio
This ratio compares arachidonic acid (pro-inflammatory omega-6) to eicosapentaenoic acid (anti-inflammatory omega-3).
