Home Test: The Vital Omega-3 and 6 HUFA Test™

The Vital Omega-3 and 6 HUFA Test™ measures the blood levels of these two families of essential nutrients, which strongly influence genetic “switches”, and hormone-like agents called prostaglandins.
  • Easy, comfortable, at-home blood test
  • Receive your results by email in about 3 weeks
  • Reveals your key omega-3 and omega-6 blood levels
  • Provides a heart-risk grade, based on your test results
Which omega-3 and omega-6 HUFA are included in your report?
The five most abundant highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) in human blood – and the ones most significant to human health – are omega-3 EPA, DHA, and DPA* and omega-6 AA* and DPA**:

However, your Vital Omega-3 and 6 HUFA Test™ measures and reports the full spectrum of all nine omega-3 and omega-6 HUFA found in human blood.

The following list shows the scientific names (e.g., docosahexaenoic acid) and alpha-numeric identifiers (e.g., 22:6w3) for all nine HUFA, as well as the acronyms (e.g., DHA) commonly used for the five major HUFA:

Omega-3 HUFA covered by your report
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid - 22:6w3) • EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid - 20:5w3) • DPA (docosapentaenoic acid - 22:5w3) • eicosatrienoic acid (20:3w3) • eicsoatetraenoic acid (20:4w3)

Omega-6 HUFA covered by your report
AA (arachidonic acid - 20:4w6) • di-homo-gamma linolenic acid (20:3w6) • adrenic acid (22:4w6) • DPA (docosapentaenoic acid - 22:5w6)

I'll post my results as soon as I get them as a sample to what the provide....more soon
