What is Omega-6 Total?
Total Omega-6 Fatty Acids measures the sum percentage of omega-6 polyunsaturated fats, primarily linoleic acid (LA) and arachidonic acid (AA). While essential, excessive intake of omega-6 relative to omega-3 is thought to promote inflammation. Maintaining a balanced Omega-6/Omega-3 ratio (ideally < 4:1) is considered important for health.
