Elongates fatty acids in omega-3 synthesis.
| Genotype | Impact | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| GG (Normal) | Normal | Normal elongation of EPA to DHA - good production of this key brain/eye omega-3. Maintain omega-3 sources (oily fish or algae). |
| GT (Carrier) | Low impact | Slightly reduced DHA synthesis. Favour direct DHA sources (oily fish 2-3x/week, or algae oil) rather than relying on plant ALA conversion. |
| TT (Variant) | Moderate | Lower DHA synthesis capacity. Prioritise preformed DHA (oily fish or algae oil); plant omega-3 (flax, chia) alone is insufficient. |
