    What's in the test?

    • Omega fatty acids

      ARA : EPA

      Omega-3 essential fatty acids such as EPA are responsible for controlling inflammation, brain development, and regulating blood pressure. Omega-6 fatty acids such as ARA are thought to have a pro-inflammatory role in the body, while omega-3 fatty acids like ERA are thought to have an anti-inflammatory role.

      Omega 3 index

      The Omega-3 Index is the proportion of long-chain omega-3s, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) of all fatty acids in your blood, specifically your red blood cell membranes. Aiming for an Omega-3 Index >8% helps maintain optimum heart, brain, eye, and joint health.
