Checks your omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid levels and the balance between them via a venous blood draw at a clinic, relevant if you rarely eat oily fish or want to understand your fat intake.
1 biomarker as listed by Better2Know.
Omega-3 and omega-6 are essential fatty acids obtained from diet, mainly oily fish and vegetable oils, and the balance between them is often used as an indicator of dietary intake, particularly for people who eat oily fish less than twice a week. This test reports the two together as a single combined result rather than breaking out individual fatty acids.
Against the other omega-3 tests we track, £195 is above the £160 median for this comparison group, £70 more than Better2Know's own at-home finger-prick version of the same test, and well above Bluecrest Wellness's £85 Omega-3 Index Test. That pricing is the main reason it scores only moderately on value for money, and the need to attend a clinic for a venous draw, rather than collecting a sample at home, is why it scores lower on collection convenience than Better2Know's own home-kit version.
It scores well on clarity, since the listing sets out the sample type, biomarker and turnaround clearly, and reasonably on clinical depth, since it measures exactly the single combined marker it claims to. Trust-signal scoring reflects Better2Know's 4.2 Trustpilot rating from 775 reviews, CQC registration and 18 years of trading, while the weaker results and follow-up score reflects that results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
This suits you if you specifically want or need a clinic-based venous draw for your omega-3 and omega-6 check, for example if you are not comfortable with a finger-prick sample. If a home kit would work just as well, Better2Know's own at-home version of the same test is £70 cheaper, and Bluecrest Wellness's Omega-3 Index Test undercuts both at £85. Because there is no doctor review as standard, this is better suited to tracking a level you already understand than investigating new symptoms, for which a GP is the sensible first step.
A venous blood sample is taken at a Better2Know clinic and sent to the lab for analysis; an at-home finger-prick version is also available for £125. Results are typically ready within about 5 working days of the sample reaching the lab and are provided through Better2Know's online patient area. The fact sheet does not state that a doctor reviews results as standard.
Attending a Better2Know clinic for this omega-3 and omega-6 test costs £195, £70 more than the provider's own at-home finger-prick version and well above Bluecrest Wellness's £85 Omega-3 Index Test. You need a venous blood draw rather than collecting a sample yourself. Results are not doctor-reviewed as standard.
The listing publishes a detailed description, the full biomarker list, a stated turnaround, clear collection options, the sample type; it does not state what the report looks like.
A single-marker test measuring exactly what it sets out to; depth is not the point of this comparison group.
A finger-prick sample you take at home; with a venous or clinic option as well; results in around 5 days, slower than similar tests.
Results are not doctor-reviewed and no consultation is included; the provider does not describe the report format.
