Test: Fatty Acids Test - Cell Membranes

Fatty Acids Measurement Test (Includes Consultation + Supplement Protocol)

This test provides an in-depth analysis of 26 fatty acids that play critical roles in cellular health, specifically in the composition and function of cell membranes. 

The test measures key fatty acids such as C15:0 Pentadecanoic acid, C16:0 Hexadecanoic acid, C18:1 Oleic acid, and important Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids like EPA, DHA, and ALA, among others. These fatty acids contribute to the structural integrity and fluidity of cell membranes, which are essential for proper nutrient transport, waste removal, and maintaining cellular communication. By analysing these fatty acid profiles, we can assess whether cell membranes are in an optimal state, which directly influences the efficiency of nutrient uptake and the removal of cellular waste.

Optimal cell membrane function is crucial for ensuring that mitochondria have access to the right nutrients for energy production, as well as for supporting the body’s detoxification processes. Membranes that are rich in healthy fatty acids - especially Omega-3s and balanced Omega-6s - help facilitate the transport of nutrients into cells while promoting the effective removal of waste products. When cell membranes are in an ideal state, mitochondria can operate more efficiently, leading to better energy production, enhanced metabolic processes, and improved overall health and wellness.

By using this fatty acid measurement test, we can pinpoint imbalances or deficiencies in these key fatty acids, which could impair cell and mitochondrial function. This test is vital for tracking the impact of nutritional or supplement interventions, allowing us to make informed adjustments that support cellular health and promote optimal wellness.
