Omega-3 deficiency symptoms: How to recognize them - and what you can do about them

95% are deficient in omega-3 fatty acids. How you can test it yourself.

A lack of Omega-3 fatty acids is not uncommon today - on the contrary: More than 95% of people are well below the optimal value according to global fatty acid tests.

You often don't feel the consequences immediately, but they show up: dry skin, lack of concentration, mood swings, persistent fatigue or even joint pain.

Because your body can't make omega-3 on its own, you are dependent on getting it through your diet or high-quality supplements.

Especially the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are crucial – for your Heart , your brain, your eyes, and every single cell.

Children benefit from this through healthy brain and vision development, and pregnant women thus optimally support the development of their baby.

Symptoms:
How do I recognize an omega-3 deficiency?

Are you often tired, forgetful or have dry skin? Then it's worth taking a closer look at your omega-3 status - because the symptoms of a deficiency are common, non-specific and easily overlooked.

The most common symptoms in Omega-3 deficiency:

  1. 1
    Dry, irritated or flaky skin
  2. 2
    Brittle nails and dull hair
  3. 3
    Concentration problems, memory impairment
  4. 4
    Constant fatigue and lack of energy
  5. 5
    Mood swings, depressive moods
  6. 6
    Joint and muscle pain
  7. 7
    Increased susceptibility to infections
  8. 8
    Dry eyes, visual disturbances
  9. 9
    High blood pressure or increased pulse

Important: Many of these symptoms cannot be clearly assigned - which is why an omega-3 deficiency often remains undetected for a long time.

The real cause: The disturbed ratio of omega-6 to omega-3

  • Our modern diet is out of balance: Hidden omega-6 fatty acids in convenience foods, vegetable oils and snacks almost completely displace healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
    What happens:
    Silent inflammation throughout the body
  • The omega-6:3 ratio for most people today is 15:1 – healthy would be a value of 3:1 or better. This imbalance can lead to chronic, subliminal inflammation, which promotes many diseases.
  • 1.5 million tests worldwide show:
    95% of people are in a critical imbalance, even if they are already taking omega-3 products.

The decisive step:
Get your omega-3 levels tested

Only a scientific test can show whether you are really optimally cared for. Because symptoms alone are not enough for a diagnosis.
