Omega-3

Group: Fatty acid

Description:

The Omega-3 Index Test measures the amount of omega-3 EPA+DHA in red blood cell membranes. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients that play a crucial role in heart and brain health. The test provides valuable information about the body's omega-3 status, which is important for maintaining a healthy heart, brain, and overall well-being. A higher Omega-3 Index is associated with multiple benefits for the mind and body, contributing to healthy aging and reducing the risk of heart disease, inflammation, and cancer. The test is useful for assessing omega-3 levels, determining the effectiveness of omega-3 supplementation, and identifying individuals at risk of heart disease due to low omega-3 levels
