Everyone has heard about the importance of omega fatty acids at least once. Omegas are essential components of our diet, playing crucial roles in supporting overall health and well-being. Omega-3 have garnered widespread attention for their numerous health benefits, including cardiovascular health, brain function, and inflammation regulation. However, while many people know the importance, only a few know their levels and take the right amount. To determine the levels, one can perform the Omega 3 Index Test, which is the best proactive step towards optimising health and well-being.
What are Omega 3 and 6?
Omega-3 are one of the most crucial building materials for the membranes of all our cells in the body. A cell that receives adequate suitable fatty acids has a dense and flexible membrane. Such a membrane easily withstands free radicals, toxins, and viruses. With a healthy cell wall, internal processes, such as energy production, DNA synthesis, and others, occur precisely and sequentially.
Omega-6 are unsaturated fatty acids that also play an essential role in supporting all body functions. However, it’s important to note that excess can develop inflammatory processes, which cause many cardiovascular diseases and hormonal and metabolic changes. Due to environmental issues, a fast-paced lifestyle, and chronic stress, the modern human diet is usually enriched with Omega-6. Ideally, the ratio should be 3:1 (Ω6:Ω3), but unfortunately, such levels are relatively rare nowadays.
Omega 3 Index Test
The Omega 3 Index Test is a home test that determines fatty acid levels. This innovative testing format requires just a drop of blood. Unlike plasma-based tests, erythrocytes (red blood cells) provide the best material for assessing the state of Omegas fatty acids in tissues.
What’s included in the Omega 3 Index Test?
The Omega 3 Index test measures the amount of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) in your blood, more precisely, in the red blood cell membranes. Here is what it includes:
- Index Ω 3
- Up to 15-minute consultation with one of our nutritionists, which will help to understand the levels and what needs to be done to optimise levels
We strongly believe that each person should know their levels and monitor them periodically to ensure adequate levels, especially those who have a health condition or complain.
