The Omega-3 Index is a measure of the amount of omega-3 acids (EPA and DHA) in red blood cell membranes, reflecting the average omega-3 concentration over the last 4 months.
A desirable omega-3 index score of 8-12% is associated with better health and disease prevention.
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for maintaining heart health and can help reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease. They are also important for brain health, help cognitive function and are likely to reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases. In addition, omega-3s support eye health and can contribute to general well-being by promoting joint health and reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety.
The optimal Omega-3 index can be maintained through diet, primarily through the consumption of fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines, or, if necessary, through omega-3 supplements. It is always a good idea to discuss any changes to your diet or supplement regime with a healthcare professional to ensure that it meets your individual health needs.
It is recommended to check the Omega-3 index every 3-4 months and every 6 months thereafter.
The test is carried out by a nurse, sent to an overseas laboratory, and a reply with recommendations is sent 14 working days later.
