Omega-3 Index

Why we test it
The Omega-3 Index measures the percentage of EPA and DHA in your red blood cell membranes. An index below 8% is associated with increased risk of cognitive decline, depression, and cardiovascular disease. This test also provides your EPA-to-DHA ratio to guide supplementation.
