Zinzino’s BalanceTest is an easy self-test for analysing the fatty acids found in capillary blood obtained from a fingertip using the Dried Blood Spot (DBS) technique. A DBS is scientifically proven to be as accurate as a venous blood sample when fatty acids are to be analysed. All it requires is a few drops of blood from the fingertip on a Whatman® filter paper and it takes less than a minute to complete.
VITAS Analytical Services in Norway will anonymously analyse the percentage content of 11 fatty acids, which together represent approximately 98% of the fatty acids in the blood and the values reflect your diet for the last 120 days, which is the lifetime of blood cells. The result is then displayed, after about 10-20 days, on the zinzinotest.com website.
After taking BalanceTest, start taking your daily dosage of Zinzinos BalanceOil. Your test results will show you whether your diet is balanced or unbalanced in terms of essential fatty acids. Continue taking the Balance Products daily, and at the same time it is advised to eat a balanced and healthy diet and get regular physical activity.
A three-step program is provided for guidance to achieve balance.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
A new and simplified method for the analysis of fatty acids profile in the blood without lipid extraction has been discovered. This new method, that uses drops of blood collected from a fingertip (see picture below), has been compared to the conventional method of lipid analysis based on withdrawal of venous blood.
Full linearity in the gas chromatographic response of 11 individual fatty acids are maintained from C14 to C24 peaks with increasing sample size in the range 15-75 mcg. This new method for the analysis of fatty acids profile in the blood is approved for nutritional studies.
The fatty acids profile of blood lipids reflects dietary fat intake, and studies have shown that this profile is strongly related to health status. This is because the blood lipid profile represents the types of fats your body has to build into all cells and tissues, including cell membranes.
Thus, this new method for the analysis of fatty acids profile in the blood is applicable to nutritional studies. The 11 fatty acids are: Palmitic acid(PA), Stearic acid(SA), Oleic acid(OA), Linoleic(LA), AlphaLinolenic acid(ALA), Gamma-linolenic acid(GLA), dihomoGammalinolenic acid(DHGLA), Arachidonic acid(AA), Eicosapentaenoic acid(EPA), Docosapentaenoic acid(DPA), Docosahexaenoic acid(DHA).
