Sleep Stress Profile
The only test that provides a comprehensive overview of inflammatory status of your body.
The ratio between AA/EPA acts as a surrogate marker for imbalance between pro- and anti-inflammatory eicosanoids, and is used as a biomarker to represent dietary inflammation.

The key of good health is balancing your omega-3 and omega-6 ratio.
We need certain essential fatty acids (EFAs) to maintain normal activities but can’t make them alone, hence it’s called “essential”. There are only 2 types of EFAs you obtain from foods, omega-3 fatty acid and omega-6 fatty acid. Omega-3 FA reduce inflammation but omega-6 FA is pro-inflammatory. Silent inflammation can be due to the imbalance between the ratios of anti-inflammatory vs. pro-inflammatory fats.

Chronic inflammation is a silent but significant health concern that can have far-reaching impacts on our overall well-being. It occurs when the body's immune response remains active for an extended period, leading to a cascade of harmful effects. Understanding the health risks associated with chronic inflammation is crucial in taking proactive measures to mitigate its impact.
One key factor contributing to chronic inflammation is an imbalance of fatty acids in the body. Omega-6 fatty acids, commonly found in processed foods and vegetable oils, can promote inflammation when consumed in excess. On the other hand, omega-3 fatty acids, typically found in fish and certain nuts and seeds, possess anti-inflammatory properties and can help counterbalance this effect.
By understanding the impacts of chronic inflammation on overall health and implementing appropriate lifestyle changes, individuals can take proactive steps towards promoting their well-being and reducing their risk of developing related diseases.
