What is the Omega-3 Index Test?

The Omega-3 Index Test is an at-home blood test that measures the percentage of EPA and DHA—the two most important omega-3 fatty acids—found in your red blood cells. Because red blood cells live for approximately 120 days, the test provides an accurate picture of your long-term omega-3 status rather than what you ate recently.

Unlike food journals or symptom checklists, the Omega-3 Index offers an objective measurement that can help guide dietary and supplement decisions with confidence.

Who Is This For?

The Omega-3 Index Test is an excellent choice for:

• Children and teens
• Adults interested in optimizing their health
• Families currently taking fish oil supplements
• Individuals who rarely eat fatty fish
• Pregnant or breastfeeding mothers
• Athletes
• People looking to support healthy brain, heart, eye, skin, and immune function
• Anyone who wants to make informed nutrition decisions based on real data

Why Parents Love it?

Parents appreciate having clear answers instead of relying on guesswork. Since many children eat little or no seafood, it can be difficult to know whether they're getting enough EPA and DHA through diet alone.

The Omega-3 Index Test provides personalized information that can help families make confident decisions about nutrition and supplementation without unnecessary trial and error. The quick at-home finger prick is simple to complete, and results provide valuable insight into your child's omega-3 status over the previous four months.
