Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio:

n-6 : n-3 ratio:

2.3 : 1

The red/green bar above represents how much omega 6 (in red) is present, versus omega 3 (in green). Idealy they should be in equal proportions 1:1, in other words half red and half green.

n-6 / n-3 proportion:

2.32*

* Lower is better
≤ 1 is best
≤ 4 is good
> 4 means too much omega 6, replace or combine with higher omega 3 ingredients to balance out.
