Omega-3 Index Basic

The essential omega-3 status check. A finger-prick blood test that measures EPA + DHA as a percentage of your red blood cell fatty acids — the Omega-3 Index, the most-cited omega-3 marker in published research.

Your result is plotted on a clinical reference scale (Low / Suboptimal / Optimal / Elevated), with plain-English interpretation and your personalised daily dose.

What you'll learn

• Your Omega-3 Index — EPA + DHA as a % of total fatty acids
• Optimal range: 8–12%
• Personalised daily EPA+DHA dose
• Food and supplement guidance
• Quality-reviewed PDF report

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), the method behind 450+ peer-reviewed studies. A UK-registered medical device, analysed in our accredited European laboratory.
