Why test your omega 3 and how do you do it?

Omega 3 fatty acids are an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Yet there are many people who get too little omega 3 each week. Fortunately, nowadays there is an easy way to test your omega 3. There is a special test for omega 3 that takes only five minutes.

Doing an omega 3 test with an omega 3 test kit

With a special test kit for omega 3, you can easily test your omega 3 level at home. You can test your omega 3 by taking 2 drops of blood from your fingertip. In the omega 3 test kit you will find a special omega 3 blood test for this, which you can do painlessly.

You collect the drop(s) of blood on the blood spot card, which you then send free of charge to the laboratory in the enclosed return envelope. After the analysis of your blood in the laboratory, you will receive a detailed results overview within 15 working days.

After doing the omega 3 test, you will know both how much omega 3 was found in your blood and the omega 3 to omega 6 ratio.

How do I read the results of the omega 3 index test?

After doing the omega 3 test, you will soon receive the results report by email. The first result is the omega 3 index. This is the percentage of omega 3 fatty acids EPA and DHA of the total fatty acid content of your red blood cells.

This omega 3 index value also applies to all your body cells. This percentage is almost always between 2 and 12%. The most ideal is a percentage between 8 and 12%.

The second result is the ratio between omega 3 and omega 6 in your blood. Ideally, the amount of omega 6 in your blood is no more than 1 to 3 times the amount of omega 3 (so between 1:1 and 3:1).

The ratio should also not be lower than 1:1, so not more omega 3 than omega 6.
