BalanceTest quick guide

By Zinzino

The Zinzino BalanceTest is a dried blood spot test that provides information about the balance of Omega-6 and Omega-3 essential fatty acids in your blood. From your test report, you will also learn about your Omega-3 Index, Protection Value, Cell Membrane Fluidity, Mental Strength and more.

The test is easy to perform and takes less than a minute. It can be done in the comfort of your home. Watch the BalanceTest video or read our step-by-step instructions to learn how to take the test.
