Cellular health for people with chronic diseases
Chronic diseases like diabetes represent high-performance exercise for the body. We at Zuckerschmuck are affected ourselves and know that, despite our best efforts, blood sugar levels can still be too high or too low in everyday life. Support your body and your cells to buffer the constant strain caused by blood sugar fluctuations and stay healthy in the long term!
Zinzino is more than a dietary supplement with Omega 3 fatty acids
Our body cells need a healthy balance of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. You can measure this balance with a simple test. It's as easy as a blood sugar test: you place a drop of blood on the Zinzino Test , register online, and after about 14 days, you'll receive an anonymous evaluation by email, along with specific steps you can take to optimize your blood lipid composition to best support your body.
BalanceTest by Zinzino
Main advantages of the BalanceTest for determining the Omega-6:3 balance
- User-friendly dry blood self-test
- Measures 11 fatty acids in your blood
- Provides information about your Omega 6:3 balance
What does the Omega 3 test measure?
What we measure
The test measures 11 fatty acids, including saturated, monounsaturated (omega-9), and polyunsaturated (omega-6 and omega-3) fatty acids. Individual fatty acid values are presented in the table and expressed as a percentage of the total fatty acids measured. For comparison purposes, the average range for each fatty acid (based on data obtained from a large group of balanced individuals) is presented as the target value. The following fatty acids are measured:
Palmitic acid, C16:0, saturated fatty acid
Stearic acid, C18:0, saturated fatty acid
Oleic acid, C18:1, Omega-9
Linolenic acid, C18:2, Omega-6
Alpha-linolenic acid, C18:3, Omega-3
Gamma-linolenic acid, C18:3, Omega-6
Dihomogamma-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
Docosahexenoic acid (DHA), C22:6, Omega-3
How your results are calculated
Eleven fatty acids are analyzed, and their sum is considered 100%. For the following six values, we use seven of the fatty acids. The analyzed proportion of each of the seven fatty acids is calculated as a percentage of 100%.
1. Omega-3 eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)
2. Omega-3 docosahexenoic acid (DHA)
3. Omega-3 docosapentaenoic acid (DPA)
4. Omega-6 Arachidonic Acid (AA)
5. Omega-6 Dihomogamma-Linolenic Acid (DGLA)
6. Saturated fatty acid, palmitic acid (PA)
7. Saturated fatty acid, stearic acid (SA)
Protection value
First, the following 3 recognized health indicators are calculated:
1. The Omega-6 ratio is calculated as follows: (DGLA+AA) * 100 / (DGLA+AA+EPA+DPA+DHA)
2. The value for Omega-3 concentration is the sum of EPA+DHA
3. The balance value is calculated as Omega-6 (AA) / Omega-3 (EPA).
Each indicator value is given equal weight in a second calculation and assigned a value between 0 and 100, which is then divided by 3 to determine the protection value, which is ideally above 90. However, this does not indicate the person's health status; it merely indicates their fatty acid protection profile.
A notice: EPA and DHA levels have a strong impact on all calculations, and when EPA and DHA percentages are low, very low or even zero protection levels are not uncommon.
Omega-3 index
The Omega-3 Index is the sum of the percentages of the two marine omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. The ideal combined level is at least 8%, with higher levels in the range of 10% being desirable. Omega-3 fatty acids have many benefits because they are the main building blocks of our cells. EPA is found primarily in the blood, muscles, and tissues, while DHA is found in the brain, sperm, and eyes.
Omega-6:3 balance
The balance is calculated by dividing the percentage of AA by the percentage of EPA (AA/EPA), which is then expressed as a balance value, for example, 3:1. The omega-6:3 balance in the body should ideally be below 3:1. If the ratio is above 3:1, a change in your diet is helpful. A low balance of omega-6 and omega-3 is important for maintaining normal cell and tissue development (self-regulation of the organism or homeostasis). It also helps the body keep inflammation under control.
Cell membrane fluidity
Fluidity is calculated by dividing the percentage of two saturated fatty acids by the percentage of two omega-3 fatty acids. The fluidity value is thus defined as (PA+SA) / (EPA+DHA), and the result is expressed as a fluidity index, for example, 3:1. A fluidity value below 4:1 indicates that cell membranes are sufficiently fluid. The more saturated fats in a membrane, the stiffer the membrane. Conversely, the more polyunsaturated fats in a membrane, the more fluid the membrane. Cell membrane composition and structural architecture are crucial for cellular health and therefore for the body. On the one hand, the membrane must be rigid enough to ensure stable structural cell architecture. On the other hand, the membrane must be fluid enough to allow nutrients in and waste products out.
Mental strength
This is calculated by dividing the percentage of AA by the sum of the percentages of EPA and DHA, i.e., the mental toughness score = AA / (EPA+DHA). The result is expressed as a mental toughness score, for example, 1:1. This score should be less than 1:1 for an adequate and balanced supply of polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3) to the brain and nervous system. Cognitive performance improves with increased intake of the marine omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. Childhood and old age are critical and vulnerable periods, and omega-3 deficiency is associated with learning and memory impairments, as well as mood problems.
Arachidonic acid (AA) index
The AA index indicates the measured level of the omega-6 fatty acid arachidonic acid (AA) as a percentage of the total measured fatty acids. Good average values range from 6.5 to 9.5%. The optimal target value is 8.3%. Arachidonic acid (AA) is the most important omega-6 fatty acid for the body. It is the starting point for the production of local tissue hormones triggered by omega-6, such as prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes, all with different functions. However, their general function is to protect the body from damage by limiting the progression of infections or the effects of injury.
Certified test kit
The certified Zinzino Dried Blood Test complies with the European In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) Directive 98/79/EC. This means that the test and all its components comply with applicable laws and regulations, which is why the kit also bears the CE mark.
