Since all but one of the OC 95% bands lie within the OQ 99% bands, and are reasonably well situated within those bands, I think they are at least fairly comparable. I'll bring up OQ at my next cardiology visit.
I feel quite good, although always looking to optimize cognitive and athletic performance.

I too am quite surprised at how high my LA is. All wild caught fish; most of my nut consumption is macadamia nuts (for example, about 2% LA compared to about 20% for cashews). I do eat a lot of eggs (from pasture raised chickens that aren't fed grain), and grass fed lamb. When I googled to find out the LA content of grass fed lamb, I came across this:
"Research indicates that grass-fed lamb is high in conjugated linoleic acid (CLA.) Even though CLA is considered an omega-6 fatty acid, something that isn’t considered healthy, CLA doesn’t have the same negative impact on the human body as other omega-6 fatty acids. In fact, consuming a moderate amount of CLA actually aids with weight loss and helps build stronger muscles."
Hm, maybe @ CLA? But it seems that most "ancestral" types have very low LA, even those consuming lots of wild fish.
I just don't know, tbh.
How many eggs is a lot? I think eggs can be high in PUFAs, especially if they're "high omega 3" as the flax seed they feed them also raises LA substantially (often totally reversing the ratio, so it's actually a detriment to the o3:o6 ratio lol).
I'd maaaybe expect this if you ate 6+ eggs every single day, but probably not below. But even that's just speculation.
The OmegaQuant Complete is not a test you need an Rx for, you can just order it off Amazon. So no need to talk to a cardiologist.

I got the OC fully covered by health insurance, so maybe OQ too?
Ah, that could be. It's $99 so definitely worth a try.
