Description: Zinzino Balance Test 11 Fatty Acids Easy Test Kit Brand New Sealed. Zinzino Balance Test 11 Fatty Acids Easy Test Kit Brand New Zinzino BalanceTest is a simple self-test for the analysis of fatty acids in capillary blood obtained from a fingertip using the dried blood drop (DBS) method. For fatty acid analysis, the DBS method is scientifically proven to be as accurate as a venous blood sample. It requires only a few drops of fingertip blood on Whatman® filter paper and takes less than a minute. Easy-to-use self-test with a dried drop of blood It determines the level of 11 fatty acids in the blood It provides data on your Omega-6 and Omega-3 balance The test measures the content of 11 fatty acids, including saturated, monounsaturated (Omega-9) and polyunsaturated (Omega-6 and Omega-3) fatty acids. The values of individual fatty acids are shown in the table and are expressed as a percentage of the measured total amount of fatty acids. For comparison in the table, the average range for each fatty acid (based on data obtained from a large group of people with a balanced diet) is given as a target value. The following fatty acids are measured: palmitic acid, C16:0, saturated fat stearic acid, C18:0, saturated fat oleic acid, C18:1, Omega-9 linoleic acid, C18:2, Omega-6 alpha-linolenic acid, C18:3, Omega-3 gamma-linolenic acid, C18:3, Omega-6 dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid, C20:3, Omega-6 arachidonic acid (AA), C20:4, Omega-6 eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), C20:5, Omega-3 docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), C22:5, Omega-3 Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), C22:6, Omega-3 Certified test kit Zinzino's dried blood drop test is certified to comply with the European In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices (IVD) Directive 98/79/EC. This means that the test and all its components comply with the applicable laws and regulations and therefore the kit contains the CE mark. This is how your results are calculated 11 fatty acids are analyzed and the total sum of their values is taken as 100%. For these 6 values, we use 7 fatty acids. The analyzed amount of each of the 7 fatty acids is calculated as a percentage of 100%. 1. Omega-3-eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) 2. Omega-3 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) 3. Omega-3 docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) 4. Omega-6 arachidonic acid (AA) 5. Omega-6-dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA) 6. Saturated fats, palmitic acid (PA) 7. Saturated fats, stearic acid (SA) Protection value First, the following 3 recognized health indicators are calculated: 1. The value of the Omega-6 ratio is calculated as follows: (DGLA + AA) * 100 / (DGLA + AA + EPA + DPA + DHA) 2. The value of the Omega-3 level is represented by the sum of EPA + DHA 3. The balance value is calculated as Omega-6 (AA) / Omega-3 (EPA). Each indicator value has the same weight in the second calculation and is assigned a value from 0 to 100, which is then divided by 3 to obtain a protection value that should ideally exceed the value of 90. However, the results do not say anything about the health status of the customer, only about the level protection of fatty acids. Note! EPA and DHA values have a large influence on all calculations, and if the percentages of EPA and DHA are low, very low or even zero protection values are not unusual as a result. Omega-3 index The Omega-3 index is a summary of the percentage values for the two marine Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. The ideal combined level is at least 8%, but values above 10% are desired. Omega-3s provide many benefits because they are the primary building blocks of your cells. EPA acid is found in large quantities in the blood, muscles, tissues, and DHA acid is found in large quantities in the brain, sperm and eyes. Omega-6:3 balance The balance is calculated by dividing the percentage value of AA by the percentage value of EPA (AA / EPA), which will be expressed as a ratio value, for example 3:1. The Omega-6:3 Balance ratio in the body should preferably be lower than 3:1. If the ratio is higher than 3:1, a change in diet could benefit you. The right balance of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids is important for maintaining the natural formation of cells and tissues (homeostasis) and helps the body keep inflammation under control. Fluidity of the cell membrane Fluidity is calculated by dividing the percentage of the two saturated fats by the percentage of the two Omega-3 acids. Thus, the fluidity value is defined as (PA + SA) / (EPA + DHA) and the result is expressed as a fluidity index, for example 3 : 1. If the fluidity value is lower than 4 : 1, it means that there is sufficient fluidity in the cell membranes . The more saturated fat the membrane contains, the stronger it is. Conversely, the more polyunsaturated fats the membrane contains, the more liquid the membrane is. The composition and structural structure of cell membranes are important for the health of the cells, and therefore also for the health of the organism. On the one hand, the membrane needs to be strong enough for its structural construction to be in good condition. On the other hand, the membrane must be sufficiently liquid so that nutrients can penetrate through it and harmful substances can penetrate out. Mental strength It is calculated by dividing the percentage value of AA by the sum of the percentage values of EPA and DHA, i.e. mental strength value = AA / (EPA + DHA). The result is expressed as a value of mental strength, for example 1:1. The value should not exceed 1:1 in order to get a balanced amount of fatty acids (Omega-6 and Omega-3) to the brain and nervous system. Cognitive performance improves with increased consumption of marine Omega-3 acids EPA and DHA. Children and the elderly are at a critical and vulnerable stage of life, and a lack of omega-3 fatty acids is associated with learning and memory impairments as well as mood swings. Arachidonic acid index (aa) The AA index shows the measured value of the omega-6 fatty acid arachidonic acid (AA) as a percentage of the total measured value of fatty acids. Good average values range from 6.5 to 9.5%, and the optimal target value is 8.3%. Arachidonic acid (AA) is the most important omega-6 fatty acid for our body. It is the starting point for the production of local tissue hormones, which is triggered by Omega-6 fatty acids, e.g. prostaglandins, thromboxanes and leukotrienes, all with different functions. However, the overall function is to protect the body from harm by limiting the progress of infection or the impact of injury. Test execution 1. The Zinzino test is approved as an in vitro diagnostic tool for taking your own blood sample at home. – First, wash your hands with soap, rinse them thoroughly with warm water and dry them. 2. Remove the sample card from the paper envelope. Save the envelope, you will need it later. Tear off the section labeled SAVE from the sample collection card and take a photo of the test identification number. You can find out your test result only using your personal test identification number. Place the card on the table with the two circles facing up. 3. Stimulate blood circulation by circling or shaking your hand thoroughly for 20 seconds. 4. Remove the disposable lancet. Remove the transparent safety cap and the lancet is ready for use. Use an alcohol-soaked swab to clean your fingertip (the middle finger is recommended). Place the lancet opposite the bottom of your fingertip towards the blood collection paper placed on the table. Push the top of the lancet towards your finger until you hear a click. The lancet will automatically make a small puncture in the finger. 5. Do not touch the filter paper with your fingers. 6. Fill the rings with blood one by one. Gently squeeze your finger and wait until a drop of blood falls into the ring on its own. If one drop of blood does not cover the ring, then let another drop fall of its own accord. Leave the sample card in a horizontal position at room temperature for at least 10 minutes to allow the samples to dry well. 7. Put the sample card back into the paper envelope. Then place the paper envelope in the metal case and close it. IMPORTANT: Do not remove the desiccant bag. 8. Place the closed metal package in a large envelope with the address of the laboratory on it. NOTE: Before you put the envelope in the mailbox, you must apply stamps of the correct value.
