PATIENT GUIDE. OMEGA 6:3 RATIO
It's not just how
much omega-3.
It's the balance.
Your body needs both omega-6 and omega-3 fats, but in the right proportion. Most modern diets tip the scales heavily one way. Here's what that means, how it can show up, and how to find out where you stand.
Watch the Balance Concept
WHAT IS THE OMEGA 6:3 RATIO
Two essential
fats.One balance.
OMEGA 6
Plentiful, often too plentiful
Needed in moderation. It helps start the body's natural response to injury and infection. Found in sunflower, corn and soybean oils, processed snacks, fried food and grain-fed meat.
Omega-6 and omega-3 are fats your body can't make, so they have to come from food. The ratio compares how much of each is in your blood. A lower number means a better balance.
OMEGA 3
Often in short supply
Helps the body settle that response down again, and supports the heart, brain and eyes. The most useful forms (EPA and DHA) come from oily fish and algae. Flax, chia and walnuts provide a plant form.
SIGNS OF LOW OMEGA 3
Easy to miss. Easy to blame on something else.
These signs can have many causes, so on their own they don't prove anything. A simple blood test is the only way to know your levels.
Dry rough or ichy skin
Dry or tired eyes
Brittle nails and dull, dry hair
Stiff achy joints
Slow recovery after exercise
Tiredness or low energy
Brain fog and low concentration
Low mood and feeling irratable
Poor sleep
Frequent colds and illness
Gastrointestinal distress and inflammation
Excessive ear wax build up
WHY BALANCE MATTERS
What a better balance can support.
HEART
A healthy heart
EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart and help maintain normal blood triglyceride levels.
JOINTS
Comfortable movement
A better balance supports the body's natural ability to calm inflammation, which matters for stiff joints and recovery.
BRAIN
Clearer thinking
DHA is a key building block of the brain and helps maintain normal brain function.
RECOVERY
Bounce back quicker
Whether it's training, a busy week or an old injury, balance helps your body repair and recover.
EYES
Normal vision
DHA is concentrated in the eye and helps maintain normal vision.
SKIN & MOOD
Feel more like you
Many people notice softer skin, steadier energy and better mood as their balance improves.
