SAMPLE REPORT
1455 Fatty Acid-META® (DBS)
Imbalance of lipid will induce general inflammation, cardiovascular disease, hyperactivity, depression, anxiety, the health of skin and its attachment, and neurological system degeneration . It will also endanger pregnancy, child development and intelligence. This analysis, by investigating the lipid component of blood plasma and the cell membrane of red blood cell, such as the concentration of unsaturated Ω3, Ω6, Ω9 fatty acids, saturated fatty acids, trans-unsaturated fatty acids, and their balance and ratio, we will know whether the lipid component of our daily diet is sufficient and balance.

Fatty Acid Balance Analysis a Key to Personalized Nutrition and Immune Health.Fatty acid balance analysis aids healthcare professionals in accurately evaluating an individual's dietary intake and the composition of fatty acids in cell membranes, facilitating the precise formulation of personalized nutritional plans.Fatty acids are among the most crucial nutrients in the human diet. They constitute the structural and functional components of cell membranes and serve as local hormone signals.In cells, essential fatty acids (EFAs) are converted into local hormone mediators responsible for initiating, propagating, and resolving inflammatory responses. This process is vital for the body's immune system to repair and protect itself.Fatty acids are also integral to the formation of neuronal cell membranes and receptors, ensuring effective communication between brain and nervous system cells.

Ω3 Index and Ω6/Ω3 Ratio
Experts point out that nutrition is the most common issue in the imbalance of essential fatty acids (EFAs) today.
- Due to the widespread use of vegetable oils, the omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratio has dramatically increased, rising from 4:1 to the current 20:1.
- An increase in saturated fat intake and a decrease in omega-3 fatty acid consumption are primary contributors to fatty acid imbalance (reduced omega-3 index).
- Some individuals may still experience cellular metabolic imbalances (e.g., AA/EPA ratio) even with balanced dietary fat intake. This imbalance can affect the body's ability to properly metabolize fats. Individuals with such imbalances may benefit from nutritional supplements to help restore balance.
The important information provided by Fatty Acid-META® (DBS) is as follows
Main physiological regulatory functions of omega-3 fatty acids (Ω-3)
- hibit platelet aggregation.
- gulate the composition of blood lipids.
- gulate blood pressure.
- hibit anti-inflammatory effects.
- hance brain and nerve cell function.
- rengthen insulin action.
- Regulate endocrine function.
Main physiological functions of omega-6 fatty acids (Ω-6)
- Constitute cell membranes.
- Maintain skin permeability.
- Regulate cholesterol movement.
- Serve as precursors for inflammatory mediators, platelet aggregation, and vasoconstriction.
Deficiency can lead to imbalanced prostaglandin production, causing skin issues such as itching, eczema, redness, or psoriasis, especially on the face, hands, feet, and buttocks.
- Utilization rate of essential fatty acids in cells: Ensures proper neurological and brain development in fetuses and newborns, and promotes children's behavioral responses and cognitive functions.
- Common symptoms of essential fatty acid deficiency: Small bumps on the back or hands, cracked calluses, dandruff, dry/rough/easily breakable hair, brittle nails, dry eyes, dry throat, vaginal dryness
