Improve essential fatty acid status

What this outcome means

Essential fatty acid status reflects whether your body has enough of the fats it cannot make on its own but needs to run normally. On DoseRank it maps to a defined health outcome built from human studies on omega-3 index, plasma fatty acid profiles, and the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio – data sourced from open sources and specialized resources. DoseRank is not medical advice.
