About the Test
This test measures the Omega-3 Index, the proportion of the beneficial omega-3 fats EPA and DHA in your red blood cell membranes. It reflects your longer-term omega-3 status rather than a single meal and is used to gauge how well your diet or supplements are meeting your needs. A higher index is generally associated with a more favourable cardiovascular and overall fatty-acid profile.
What is it? A blood test measuring the Omega-3 Index, the percentage of EPA and DHA in red blood cell membranes.

How to prepare for the Omega 3 Index test
No fasting is required. Continue your usual diet and any omega-3 supplements in the days before the test so the result reflects your typical status, unless your doctor advises otherwise.
Understanding your Omega 3 Index results
A higher Omega-3 Index reflects a greater proportion of EPA and DHA and is generally seen as more favourable, while a lower index may prompt dietary changes or supplementation. Your doctor or nutrition adviser will interpret the result in the context of your health and goals.
