Why is DHA important during pregnancy?

DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) supports healthy brain and eye development in the baby and may reduce the risk of preterm birth. It's an essential omega-3 fat required during pregnancy.

What does the Prenatal DHA Test measure?

The test measures the DHA level in red blood cells as a percentage of total fatty acids, providing a Prenatal DHA Index. This reflects your long-term DHA status.

What is an optimal Prenatal DHA Index?

Research suggests that a DHA level above 5% is associated with lower risk of early preterm birth and supports healthy infant development. The report includes your actual value and interpretation.

How is the sample collected?

The test uses a simple dried blood spot (DBS) method. Just a few drops from your fingertip are enough — no need for a clinic or lab visit.

Do I need to fast or stop supplements?

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

How soon will I get results?

Results are typically available within 3–5 business days from when the lab receives your sample.

Is this test safe during pregnancy?

Yes. The at-home finger-prick method is safe, non-invasive, and designed for pregnant women.

What’s included in the test kit?

The kit contains a dried blood spot card, instructions, lancet, alcohol wipe, gauze, bandage, and prepaid return envelope.
