Omega 3 Index Sampling Kit

1 total reviews

The Omega 3 Index sampling set allows you to get a comprehensive overview of the fatty acid profile using a mini-invasive method, from the comfort of your home. As part of the analysis, you will find out important markers such as the Omega 3 Index (= the amount of EPA and DHA in the blood), the omega-3/omega-6 ratio, the trans fat index and also the levels of 26 fatty acids. Based on the results and recommendations, you can adjust your diet to optimize your overall health.

Eliminates the need to visit a testing center
The mobile application allows you to regularly monitor the results
Collection method: finger-prick blood
Test results will be sent to the application within a few days, together with additional information and recommendations with regard to specific values

What markers are measured and why is it important to test for them?

The Omega 3 Index Sampling Kit measures blood levels of all 26 fatty acids, the Omega-3 Index, Omega-6:Omega-3 ratios and the Trans Fat Index. The Omega 3 Index measures the content of the two main omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) in red blood cell membranes. A higher proportion of EPA and DHA in the membranes (ideally between 8 and 12%) corresponds to a balanced intake of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and is an indicator of better cardiovascular, eye, brain and joint health. The omega-6/omega-3 ratio analyzes a total of 7 omega-6 fatty acids and 4 omega-3 fatty acids. The ideal ratio of total omega-6 to omega-3 should be in the range of 3-5:1 (omega-6:omega-3). Arachidonic acid (AA), from the omega-6 group, and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), from the omega-3 group, are important fatty acids from which important signaling molecules (prostaglandins and eicosanoids) are formed. These molecules influence many processes in the human body, such as blood clotting, blood pressure regulation and inflammatory reactions. A significant disproportion of these two fatty acids in favour of AA could affect the body's inflammatory response and overall health. The optimal range for the ratio of AA:EPA is 2.5:1 to 11:1.

Accurate and Easy to understand

A comprehensive overview of fatty acids using the DBS method (dried blood spot). Unlike regular test kits or labs, we provide detailed information on what your results mean for you, including additional educational sessions, interesting resources and helpful tips.

Comfortable

Anyone can take a simple sample at home according to the instructions and then send the sample with an attached prepaid label. You do not need to visit a testing center.

Actionable

Thanks to the application, you will have an overview of all the tests performed and the results. This allows you to continuously monitor progress and adjust supplementation and other measures to support overall health.

Did you know that...

A more important indicator of health than the ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 fatty acids is the omega 3 index.

If I take Omega-3 supplements, is it guaranteed that my Omega 3 Index will come out at optimal levels?

No. The result of the Omega-3 Index cannot be predicted solely on the basis of how much fish a particular individual eats or whether he or she takes dietary supplements containing omega-3 fatty acids. In fact, age, gender, weight, diet, genetic predisposition, smoking, medications, or general health affect the specific need for omega-3 fatty acids. The only way to know if you are getting enough Omega-3s is to measure the fatty acid profile from your blood.

What is the Omega 3 Index?

The Omega-3 Index is a measure of the content of the two main omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) in the membranes of red blood cells.
It is calculated as the sum of the EPA and DHA content and the total content of other fatty acids in the erythrocyte membranes. The result is expressed as a percentage.
The omega-3 index reflects the body's omega-3 status over the last 3-4 months, similar to how glycated hemoglobin HbA1C indicates long-term blood glucose levels. A higher proportion of EPA and DHA is an indicator of better health, with the optimal range for the Omega-3 Index being between 8-12%.

Is Omega Index more important than Omega 6: Omega 3 ratio?

The omega-3 index and the omega-6 : omega-3 ratio are different indicators that measure the fatty acid profile as part of our overall health assessment.
The Omega-3 Index is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease that has been cited and published in a number of independent studies and research. We believe that the Omega 3 Index deserves more attention because it addresses a serious problem of our time, which is the lack of EPA and DHA in our diets.

Can I use the Omega 3 Index test for children?

The test can be done for adults as well as for children. However, the recommended target level for Omega 3 Index differs for adults and for children. Younger people tend to have lower Omega 3 Index and studies suggest that the target level for children is 6%.

Do I need to be fasting before the Omega Index test?

We recommend doing the Omega 3 Index test in the morning on an empty stomach. The resulting level of omega 3 in the blood sample is influenced by the amount of fatty acids in the blood, which varies depending on how much fat is ingested in the diet.
Thus, a blood sample taken after an overnight fast may give a different Omega 3 Index result compared to a blood sample taken immediately after a meal. If you add additional fatty acids to the blood sample, the percentage of EPA and DHA will decrease slightly. However, studies suggest that, on average, the Omega 3 Index before a meal differed from the Omega Index after a meal by less than 4%, which is a very small difference.

Omega tests

The test contains variety of very important pieces of information about the whole range of fatty acids in the blood with the focus on omega 3 and omega 6 fat acids. I find it very insightful and indicative, especially omega index and the ration of omega 6 to omega 3 since the both markers are essential indicators of the vitality of the organism. I am also very satisfied with the price since I bought it via subscription for a much more affordable price than one can find elsewhere at the world market.
