Essential Omega-3 screening, now for the entire family

Understanding and managing your body’s fatty acid balance is vital for maintaining good health at every stage of life. 

The Zinzino Balance Fatty Acid Test offers a simple, effective way to measure this balance, providing crucial insights that can help prevent health issues before they start. Here’s why everyone, young and old, should consider taking this test:

Zinzino’s BalanceTest is an easy self-test for analysing the fatty acids found in capillary blood obtained from a fingertip using the Dried Blood Spot (DBS) technique. A DBS is scientifically proven to be as accurate as a venous blood sample when fatty acids are to be analysed. All it requires is a few drops of blood from the fingertip on a Whatman® filter paper and it takes less than a minute to complete.

Here’s why everyone should consider taking this test:

Optimal Development: 

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for brain development and function. They play a critical role in cognitive performance and are linked to improved learning and memory. Young people benefit from balanced fatty acids which support their academic performance and overall mental health.

Supports Mental Health:

Research shows a strong link between fatty acid levels and mental health, including mood stabilization. Ensuring a good balance through diet or supplements can enhance mood and may prevent issues like depression and anxiety.

Enhances Athletic Performance:

For active and athletic individuals, Omega-3s are known to help reduce inflammation, enhance lung function, and improve muscle recovery after exercise.

Chronic Disease Prevention:

Balancing Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids can significantly reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, arthritis, and type 2 diabetes. These conditions are often related to inflammatory processes which can be managed by correcting fatty acid imbalances.

Supports Joint and Bone Health:

With age, maintaining joint and bone health becomes crucial. Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce joint pain and stiffness by decreasing inflammation and are also beneficial for bone density.

Cognitive Health and Dementia Prevention:

Omega-3 fatty acids have a protective effect on the brain. Regular intake and balance can help maintain memory and may reduce the risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

Personalised Health Insights:

The Zinzino test provides a detailed report on your fatty acid levels, offering personalised recommendations to adjust your diet or supplements, tailored specifically to your body's needs.

Proactive Health Management:

By understanding your current fatty acid status, you can make informed decisions to improve your health proactively, rather than reacting to health issues as they arise.

Easy and Accessible Testing:

Conducted from the comfort of your home, the test uses a simple dried blood spot method, making it accessible for people of all ages without the need for a clinical visit.


By making the Zinzino Balance Fatty Acid Test a regular part of your health routine, you’re taking a significant step towards lifelong wellness. Whether you're looking to enhance mental clarity, support physical performance, or prevent chronic health issues, this test provides the insights necessary to guide your health decisions effectively.
