What does the Omega-3 Plus Ratios Test measure?

The test measures your Omega-3 Index (EPA + DHA % of total fatty acids), Omega-6:3 ratio, and AA:EPA ratio. These markers help assess cardiovascular health, inflammation, and dietary balance.

Why should I test my omega-3 and omega-6 ratios?

Understanding your Omega-6:3 and AA:EPA ratios offers insights into your body's inflammatory balance. This test helps you personalise your omega-3 intake to support heart, brain, joint, and overall health.

How do I collect the sample?

You’ll collect your blood sample at home using a dried blood spot (DBS) card. Just a few drops from a fingertip are needed — no phlebotomy or clinic visit required.

Is the Omega-3 test accurate from a finger prick sample?

Yes. The test uses validated dried blood spot methods with analysis by gas chromatography — the same method used in clinical research.

Do I need to fast or avoid supplements before testing?

Avoid eating fish or taking Omega-3 supplements for 12 hours before the test.

How long does it take to receive results?

Your results will be ready within 3–5 business days after your sample arrives at the lab.

What’s included in the Omega-3 Plus Ratios Test Kit?

The kit includes a dried blood spot card, lancet, alcohol pad, gauze, bandage, prepaid return envelope, and full instructions.

Who is this test suitable for?

This test is ideal for anyone looking to optimise their omega-3 levels, monitor their supplement response, or gain deeper insight into their fatty acid profile for long-term health.

Where is my Omega-3 Plus Ratios Test analysed?

Samples from the Asia-Pacific region, including Australia and New Zealand, are analysed in our accredited laboratory in Australia. Samples from Europe and the United Kingdom are processed in our certified EU laboratory, ensuring all results meet international clinical standards for accuracy and reliability.

Description
What does it include?

The Omega-3 Plus Ratios Test offers a detailed analysis of key fatty acid biomarkers that influence heart, brain, and metabolic health. Analysed in certified laboratories in Australia and Europe, this at-home dried blood spot test provides a deeper understanding of your omega-3 status and overall fatty acid balance.

This test includes:

• Omega-3 Index: Measures the percentage of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) in red blood cell membranes, reflecting long-term omega-3 intake. An Omega-3 Index of 8% or higher is linked to optimal heart, brain, and immune function.

• Omega-6:3 Ratio: Evaluates the balance between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. A healthy ratio of 3–5:1 supports balanced inflammation and metabolic health.

• AA:EPA Ratio: Compares arachidonic acid (AA) to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) — a key indicator of inflammatory potential and fatty acid metabolism.

By understanding these essential fatty acid ratios, you can make informed, data-driven decisions about your diet and omega-3 supplementation to support long-term wellbeing.

Your sample can be easily collected at home using a simple finger-prick, then analysed in our accredited labs in Australia or Europe for accurate, scientifically validated results.
