Why this matters
Omega-6 fatty acids are essential but can promote inflammation when excessive. Monitoring total levels helps maintain a healthy balance with omega-3s.
How this connects to other biomarkers
- Total Omega-6 sums the major n-6 fatty acids — it is interpreted in the context of the Omega-6 / Omega-3 Ratio rather than in isolation, since omega-6s have both pro-inflammatory and essential metabolic functions.
