Changes in the Western diet over the last century have caused essential fatty acids deficiencies to become one of the most prevalent nutritional imbalances seen in modern people today. Fatty acids are thought to play a central role in fatigue by affecting concentrations of the amino acid tryptophan in the blood plasma and the brain.1 Indeed, some studies show that treating fatty acid deficiencies can stimulate improvement in 85-90% of fatigue and chronic fatigue patients after a period of only three months.2,3

The Essential and Metabolic Fatty Acids Analysis identifies levels of 30 individual fatty acids and determines five crucial fatty acid ratios, establishing a clear and solid foundation for designing and monitoring an effective supplement program.
