If you’ve heard me talking about inside-out wellness, this is where it truly begins. The Zinzino BalanceTest is one of the most insightful, easy, at-home tests you can take to understand your overall cellular health, especially if you're struggling with low energy, inflammation, poor skin quality, stubborn weight, mood changes, or slow recovery.
This isn't a “guessing game” test. It's a scientific, independent, accredited blood spot test that gives you a real snapshot of what’s happening inside your body.

What is the BalanceTest?
A simple finger-prick blood test that measures the fatty acids in your blood, specifically your Omega-6 : Omega-3 balance.
Why does that matter?
Because your ratio affects:
Skin health & glow
Inflammation balance
Brain function
Energy
Hormone balance
Immunity
Heart health
Cellular repair
We want this ratio to be as close to 3:1 as possible. Most people in the UK are 15:1 or higher without realising.
This test shows you exactly where you stand and what your body needs.
What does the BalanceTest check?
The lab measures 11 fatty acids, including:
EPA + DHA (Omega-3)
Arachidonic Acid (Omega-6)
Omega-6 : 3 Ratio
Cell membrane fluidity
Saturated fats
Monounsaturated fats
Omega-3 Efficiency
Mental strength score
It’s one of the most comprehensive consumer tests available.
