A few questions help us personalize your report.
The omega-6 to omega-3 ratio reflects the balance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory fatty acids embedded in cell membranes throughout the body. Our ancestors consumed a ratio of roughly 2:1 to 4:1; the modern Western diet typically delivers 15:1 to 25:1 — a chronic imbalance that drives low-grade systemic inflammation underlying cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and depression. A target ratio below 4:1 is associated with significantly reduced cardiovascular and inflammatory disease risk.

A high omega-6:omega-3 ratio above 10:1 promotes a pro-inflammatory state. A low ratio below 4:1 is anti-inflammatory and associated with reduced cardiovascular events.
Optimal is 2:1 to 4:1. Most Western populations measure 15:1 to 20:1. Japanese populations averaging 3:1 have the lowest cardiovascular mortality globally.
