Omega-3 Index Evaluator
Metabolic Relevance
Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) have powerful anti-inflammatory effects and support cardiovascular health. A low index is associated with increased risk of heart disease, chronic inflammation, and cognitive decline.
Recommended testing frequency:
Every 6-12 months, or 3 months after starting supplementation to verify response
Did you know?
An Omega-3 Index above 8% is associated with 90% reduced risk of sudden cardiac death compared to levels below 4%. Most Western populations are in the high-risk zone (<4%).
Best sources are fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines) and algae oil supplements. Japanese and Scandinavian populations typically have optimal levels of 8%+.
