A 3-marker blood test measuring the Omega-3 index, Omega 3:6 ratio and ARA/EPA ratio, used to assess your fatty acid balance and its links to inflammation and heart health. Suits those wanting a detailed fat-profile check.
3 biomarkers as listed by Bluecrest Wellness.
Three markers describing the balance of fats in the blood make up this test: the Omega-3 index, which reflects the proportion of EPA and DHA in red blood cells; the Omega 3:6 ratio, which shows the balance between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids; and the ARA/EPA ratio, which reflects the balance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory fats. These markers are commonly used to assess whether diet and lifestyle are supporting a healthy fatty acid balance, which is linked to heart health, brain function and inflammation.
Bluecrest does not list a named comparison group of directly equivalent tests, so it cannot be measured against specific named peers. Its price of £119 is around 42% above the median we see across similarly sized vitamin and fatty-acid tests generally, and it places in the 69th percentile for marker count among that wider group, so it is a moderately deep panel at a premium price.
The score reflects that combination. It scores well on clinical depth, in the 69th percentile for marker count, and well on clarity and trust, given the detailed description, full biomarker list and Bluecrest's Trustpilot rating, own lab and CQC registration. value for money is weaker, since the price runs well above the typical level for similarly sized tests, and it loses marks on collection convenience, needing a venous draw at a clinic with results in around eight days, and on results and follow-up, since it is not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
This suits you if you specifically want a detailed look at your fatty acid balance, for example alongside a wider inflammation or heart health check, and are comfortable booking by phone and paying a premium for the three markers involved.
Because Bluecrest does not name a direct comparison group for this test, we cannot point to a specific cheaper peer offering the same combination of markers.
The test requires a venous blood draw at a local Bluecrest venue and can only be booked by phone. It can be added to any full body health check. The sample is sent to Bluecrest's own laboratory, with results typically ready in three to eight days, and the report is not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
