Omega 3 result interpretation

[XDog]

Hi all

can anyone interpret this result for me? Medichecks website says the result should be a ratio, and a google search shows either a ratio or a percentage, but this is just a number with no units specified!

It says it's a ratio so there wouldn't be any units. A ratio is the result of one number divided by the other, so your result is the same as writing 4.69:1 - so too many omega 6s, but not as bad as many people.

that makes sense I guess.

Thanks

That result does say "Ratio" and yours is above the range given. Did you not opt for Doctor's Comments with Medichecks?

[XDog in reply to SeasideSusie]

Don't normally bother with doctors comments as they normally just give you the health implications, in an NHS kind of fashion.

So, following on, can anyone recommend an Omega 3 supplement that does not contain Omega 6 and 9 also? It seems as though many (most?) contain 6 and 9 even when it is not actually listed on the nutrition facts - that kind of defeats the purpose !

Have a look at Cytoplan, an quality UK company producing quality supplements. I use their Krill Oil but they also do a Vegan Omega 3
