Fatty Acid Panel (add-on)

Please note: The Fatty Acid Panel is an add-on test only. It must be purchased with a MyHealthspan blood panel or kit (Starter, Baseline, or Cardiac).

Build a Longevity-Driven Nutrition Strategy

Fatty acids are essential building blocks for a longer, healthier life. They influence everything from brain and heart health to inflammation and energy metabolism — all critical factors in extending your healthspan. By analyzing 38 different fatty acids (C14–C24), this panel helps you understand how well your body is absorbing and utilizing these nutrients, and whether imbalances could be limiting your long-term potential.

Why This Panel Supports Longevity

• Protect Brain & Heart Health: Essential fatty acids are vital for cognitive sharpness and cardiovascular resilience
• Balance Inflammation: Track fatty acid ratios that influence inflammation, a key driver of aging
• Identify Nutritional Gaps: Detect deficiencies or imbalances that may accelerate decline over time
• Personalize Your Strategy: Use results to guide diet and supplementation choices that extend vitality
