What is the AA/EPA Ratio

A more specific ratio is the AA:EPA ratio, which is your level of arachidonic acid (AA), an omega-6 fatty acid, vs. eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an omega-3 fatty acid. These are important fatty acids in metabolism because eicosanoids and prostaglandins can be made from them. These molecules are very potent in the body in causing a lot of changes. Having different levels of these two fatty acids could affect processes that ultimately impact inflammation and overall health. We recommend optimizing the omega-3 side of the equation, which inevitably means increasing your Omega-3 Index and getting into the optimal range. It is much easier to increase the omega-3 side of the equation vs. decreasing the omega-6 side. One of the reasons is the body has much more omega-6 in the red blood cells and in whole blood than omega-3s, and some of that can be changed with diet and some of that we cannot. It is easier to spot changes on the omega-3 side and bring about the benefits you want by increasing your Omega-3 Index.

I don't understand should i calculate ratios by mass or by moll ? I have serum data in mmol/l.

Carnivore diet for 2 years, my AA to EPA ratio is 28:1, and I have lots of joint pain and anxiety. Thinking this is related…

In my country, AA and EPA come in umol/L, and normal range for AA/EPA ratio is between 12 and 125 (not 2.5 - 11 as mentioned in the video)
....this is so confusing...anyone knows how to convert?
