1.2 Million Omega3 blood tests performed worldwide!
97% show a very unhealthy inflammatory index!
The test is ‘anonymously performed by Vitas labs. This is a dry blood test that looks at the long term membranes of your red blood cells and analyses the composition of 11 fatty acids. Vitas tests are independent and anonymous.
A shot glass of health:
Many people with chronic disease and teens test @ 35:1 and higher!
11 Fatty acids in detail:
Here you can clearly see the excess of inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids with over 60% excess and the large deficiency of omega-3, in most cases over 80% deficient.
Important things to look for in your test result :
- Your omega 6:3 ratio is important but if your initial test is less than 5:1 that does not necessarily mean that it is a good value simply because your omega 6 fatty acids may be deficient as well! So more importantly is the omega 3 index.
- Most people test deficient in omega 3 up to 85%; but don’t despair that is why you are taking your Balance oil and this value should be improved in 4-5 month when you re-test. If the re-test does not normalize please contact us as soon as possible.
- You can input your first and second test barcode side by side and get a comparison
- Please output a pdf file so we can discuss results.
- Most people show an excess of saturated fats signifying their heavy intake of carbohydrates. However being deficient in saturated fat and omega 9 is also very common. Either way diet recommendation need to be made to compensate!
- Of particular importance is the AA inflammatory index which maybe above or below the desired range. This value needs to be with optimal values between 6-9 %. If too low, your healing process may be impaired. If too high, your body may be in an inflammatory state.
Easy to understand Test results that are provided with an extensive pdf file and detailed explanations.
Interpreting your Zinzino Balance Test results will be done in detail. An automatic reminder will be sent out once your test result is done (about 10-20 days) and you set up quick call with your practitioner.
Arachidonic acid (AA) is your inflammatory marker!
More Test Examples:
Pregnancy
Mother and Baby show a severely deficient Omega-3 test:
We encourage all mothers to get tested on their omega-3 levels as the baby is in desperate need to have adequate DHA levels to develop its nervous system and other vital organs. This extends into the breast feeding period as well.
As you can see in this example the mother (she was previously balanced) is now 40% DHA deficient because the baby needs to desperately use DHA to develop its own NERVOUS SYSTEM. In addition, as you can see, the baby ends up to be almost 90% deficient on the other vital EPA unsaturated fatty acids.
In effect -> both mother and baby are deficient and your breast milk does not contain the necessary omega3!
Here is an example of a test result from a 50-year old man taken after 3 years on Zinzino balance oil and other Zinzino supplements.
Here is an example of an initial test result (4-year old boy).
This is a typical first test result of a 60 year old woman with Inflammatory RI.
Note: This test, performed by Vitas labs, is one of many available test however beware that most other tests are on liquid blood and inconsistent. You have to test the RBC membranes to get a good picture of every cell membrane of the body. In addition “green” values are set far below the agreed standard of >8% omega3 (EPA+DHA).
Below are the calculations of the test results. This dry blood test works so well because it looks at the relative values of each fatty acid not the absolutes. This technology was developed by Vitas labs so a small blood drop of variable size can analyze the RBC fatty acid composition accurately:
Omega-3 Index
The Omega-3 Index is the summary of the percentage values for the two marine Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. The ideal combined level is at least 8%, but higher values like 10% are desirable. Omega-3’s have many benefits because they are the primary building blocks in your cells. EPA is dominant in the blood, muscles and tissues, while DHA is dominant in the brain, sperm and eyes.
Omega-6:3 Balance
AA is considered the inflammatory omega6 fatty acid precursor in the eicosanoid metabolism whereas EPA alone is the anti-inflammatory precursor. The balance is calculated by dividing the percent value of AA with the percent value of EPA (AA / EPA), which is then expressed as a Balance value, for example 3:1. The Omega-6:3 Balance in the body should preferably be below 3:1. If this ratio is above 3:1, you will benefit from a change in your diet. A low balance of Omega-6 and Omega-3 is important for maintaining normal cell and tissue development (homeostasis) and help the body control inflammation.
Cell membrane fluidity
Fluidity is calculated by dividing the percent value of the two saturated fats with the percent value of the two Omega-3’s. The fluidity value is thus defined as (PA+SA) / (EPA+DHA), and the result is expressed as a fluidity index, for example 3:1. If the fluidity value is below 4:1, it shows that there is sufficient fluidity in cell membranes. The more saturated the fats are in a membrane, the more rigid is the membrane. Conversely, the more polyunsaturated the fats are in a membrane, the more fluid is the membrane. Cell membrane composition and structural architecture is critical for the health of the cells and hence the body. On the one hand, the membrane needs to be rigid enough to provide sound cellular structural architecture. On the other hand, the membrane needs to be fluid enough to allow nutrients in and waste products out.
Mental strength
This is calculated by dividing the percent value of AA with the sum of the percent values of EPA and DHA, i.e. the Mental Strength value = AA / (EPA+DHA). The result is expressed as a mental strength value, for example 1:1. The value should be below 1:1 for sufficient and balanced supply of both Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids to the brain and the nervous system. Cognitive performance improves with increased consumption of marine Omega-3’s EPA and DHA. Childhood and old age are two critical and vulnerable stages and Omega-3 deficiency is associated with learning and memory deficits, as well as mood problems.
Arachidonic acid (AA) index
The AA Index shows the measured value of the Omega-6 fatty acid Arachidonic acid (AA) as a percentage out of the total fatty acids measured. Good average values are in the range of 6.5 to 9.5% with an optimum target value of 8.3%. Arachidonic acid (AA) is the most important Omega-6 fatty acid for the body. It is the starting point for the production of local tissue hormones triggered by Omega-6, such as prostaglandins, thromboxanes and leukotrienes, all with various functions. The overall function is, however, to protect the body from damage by limiting the progression of the infection or the impact of the injury.
More Test Zinzino provides are HbA1C and Vitamin D:
Convert A1C units: The formula to convert HbA1c from mmol/mol to percentage is based on an agreement reached by the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) and other clinical diabetes organizations. The formula was adopted after the IFCC introduced a more precise method for measuring HbA1c, which reports values in mmol/mol.
To convert HbA1c values from mmol/mol to a percentage, a specific formula can be used. The HbA1c percentage can be calculated using the following conversion equation: HbA1c (%)=(41×0.0915)+2.15
Vitamin D units: Vitamin D can be measured in two primary units [nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) and nanomoles per liter (nmol/L)]. To convert vitamin D from ng/mL to nmol/L or vice versa, you can use the following formulas:
-
From ng/mL to nmol/L: nmol/L=(ng/mL×2.496)
-
From nmol/L to ng/mL: ng/mL=(nmol/L÷2.496)Example: 30ng/mL×2.496 nmol/L per ng/mL=74.88 nmol/L
