Symptoms omega-3 deficiency
Brain Fog
If you’ve been unable to maintain your focus, omega-3 supplementation is something you may want to try! Get tested to find out if your levels are low.
Impaired Vision
Since DHA makes up 20% of the retina’s weight, having low levels of this fatty acid may affect its functions. Test your levels now!
Low Energy
Still sleepy even though you’ve been getting enough rest? You guessed it – your omega-3 levels can influence your energy as well. Find out if you need more healthy omega-3 fats today!
Are you getting enough omega-3s?
Studies show 9 out of 10 people do not get enough omega-3 fatty acids. The average American has an Omega-3 score of around 5%, but 8% is optimal for health.
Our omega-3 index test is a simple blood analysis that measures the fatty acid composition of your cell walls. The fatty acid composition, including EPA and DHA, reflects your eating pattern over the past three months. We are what we eat!
This simple omega-3 index test gives you a baseline to understand and achieve your essential fatty acid goals for better brain, heart, and eye health.
This kit includes comprehensive instructions explaining step-by-step blood collection, testing process, and online registration, a blood collection kit (blood collection card, lancet, disinfectant wipes, gauze, plaster), and a return envelope in which you can send your blood collection card free of charge for professional analysis to an independent and certified test laboratory.
Easy to follow steps:
First of all, collect your sample following the step-by-step blood collection instructions provided. Then, place the blood collection card in the return envelope, and send it to the addresses provided. Your sample will be analyzed by an independent test laboratory. After a few weeks, you’ll receive insight into your omega-3 index, and, if you’ve upgraded to Plus, your trans fat index, omega-3:6 ratio, AA:EPA ratio. You will also receive recommendations to achieve optimal omega-3 levels and balance your ratios as quickly and responsibly as possible.
Why test your omega-3 index?
Scientific research* reveals that 9 out of 10 people do not get enough omega-3 fatty acids. The average Dutch person has an omega-3 index between 4 and 6%, while 8% or more is optimal for health. Do you know your omega-3 level?
The Omega-3 test is a simple blood analysis that measures the fatty acid composition of the walls of our body cells. The basic test measures the omega-3 content in your blood. You can later upgrade this to ‘Plus’, which also measures omega-6, providing insight into the omega-3 / omega-6 ratio.
The fatty acid composition, including EPA and DHA, reflects our eating habits over the past 3 months, so ‘you are what you eat’.
A single drop of blood or a drop of breast milk** is sufficient to measure various types of fatty acids. The most crucial aspect is calculating the percentage of omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA from the total measured fatty acids.
Plus test
When upgrading your basic test, you also measure the ratio between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. For optimal functioning of various processes in your body, this ratio should be around 4:1. However, due to the significant increase in omega-6 in our diet, this ratio is often as high as 20:1 in many cases. Not optimal at all.
