If your arteries are unable to expand due to inflammation caused by excessive Omega-6s, you are at a higher risk for cardiovascular events. By boosting your Omega-3 levels to balance out Omega-6s, you can enhance your overall cardiovascular health and well-being. This same test can also assist in addressing inflammatory muscle and joint pain, skin issues, nervous system concerns, energy levels, mood, and  more.
