A test designed for pregnancy. Measures your Prenatal Omega-3 Index — Omega-3 DHA, the long-chain omega-3 most concentrated in your baby's developing brain, eyes and nervous system — from a single finger-prick.
Reference ranges are tuned for pregnancy, and the test can be repeated each trimester so you can see your status respond to diet and supplement changes.
