A two-marker test measuring omega-3 index and the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio, for checking whether your fatty acid balance supports heart, brain and eye health.
2 biomarkers as listed by Thriva.
This test measures two markers: the omega-3 index, and the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids (AA:EPA). Omega-3 and omega-6 are fatty acids the body cannot make on its own, and are linked to heart, brain and eye health. The test is aimed at people who want to check whether diet or supplementation is giving them an adequate balance of these fats.
The provider does not publish a comparison group for this test. Against the wider set of vitamins and minerals tests we track, its 2 markers place it at the 64th percentile for depth, a narrow panel by design since it targets only fatty acid status. Its £133 price is well above the £85 median for similarly sized panels, about 56% higher.
It scores poorly on value for money given that gap. Results and follow-up are reviewed by a doctor, though the 10-day turnaround is longer than many blood tests, which factors into a lower score there. Collection convenience remains high, with both at-home and nurse-visit options.
This suits someone who wants to check specifically their omega-3 and omega-6 status, for example if they take fish oil supplements or follow a diet low in oily fish, rather than someone wanting a broader nutrient check. The provider does not list directly competing tests in our data, so weigh the £133 price and narrow scope against your own priorities before choosing it over a broader vitamins panel.
You take this test at home with a finger-prick sample, or add a nurse-taken venous draw for £60. Omega-3 and omega-6 analysis takes longer than most markers, so results take around 10 working days, and a doctor reviews them before you see your report.
This test measures just two markers, the omega-3 index and the omega-6:omega-3 ratio, at £133. That is about 56% above the £85 median for similarly sized vitamin and mineral tests we track, a lot to pay for a narrow panel, and results take around 10 working days to come back.
