Omega-3 Index (EPA + DHA)

About this test

This test measures the percentage of Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), providing a reliable snapshot of your long-term Omega-3 status and overall health.

The Omega-3 Index test measures the percentage of essential Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) in your red blood cells, providing key insights into heart health, brain function, and inflammation levels.

Higher Omega-3 levels support cardiovascular health, cognitive performance, and reduced risk of certain chronic diseases. With personalised recommendations based on your results, this simple test helps you optimise your diet, boost Omega-3 intake, and support overall well-being.

Please note: this test can be added to any full body health check and can only be booked by phone. Call us free on 0800 652 2183 to book.

What does the Omega-3 Index tell you?

Your Omega-3 Index reflects the amount of EPA and DHA in your cells. An optimal level (typically 8% or higher) supports cardiovascular health, cognitive function and reduced inflammation. Low levels may increase your risk of heart disease and mood disorders.

Why take this test?

Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, are essential for heart, brain and overall health. The Omega-3 Index Test measures the percentage of these fatty acids in your red blood cell membranes, providing one of the most accurate indicators of your long-term Omega-3 status.
