Omega-3 Complete

Your full fatty acid profile in one test. Reports 24 individual fatty acids across the omega-3, omega-6, saturated, monounsaturated and trans fat families — the breadth of analysis typically performed in clinical research.

What you'll learn

• Everything from the Plus Ratios test
• Full omega-3 family — EPA, DHA, DPA, ALA
• Full omega-6 family — including arachidonic acid (AA), linoleic acid, GLA
• Saturated, monounsaturated and trans fats
• Clinical-grade reference ranges on every marker
• Quality-reviewed PDF report formatted for sharing with practitioners

How it works

Order online → kit posted to your door → one finger-prick onto the collection card → post it back in the prepaid return envelope → results in 3–5 days of your sample reaching our lab.

Method

Analysed by gas chromatography with flame ionisation detection (GC-FID) — the reference method for fatty acid analysis — using the original Omega-3 Index methodology of Harris & von Schacky (2004), in our accredited European laboratory.
