What are your cells made of? Your cells are made up of fats. And that’s a good thing!

You can find out what fats make up your cells with the Omega-3 Index Complete test. Diet is not the only thing that determines your blood fatty acid levels – metabolism, genetics, gender, weight, age and other lifestyle factors all can play a role. For omega-3s and trans fats, eating that fat directly increases blood levels of that fat. Other fatty acids don’t respond to intake. For example, eating a lot of saturated fat doesn’t directly raise blood levels of saturated fat, but eating a lot of carbohydrate does. This is why testing matters. The only way to know how your blood fatty acids levels and how your diet affects them is to test every 4-6 months. You can’t manage what you don’t measure.
