Omega 3 Index

Why is this test important? The HS-Omega-3 Index® is a new blood test that tells you if you have enough of the heart-healthy omega-3's in your diet. People can have ideal cholesterol levels or blood pressure, but they can still have very un-healthy omega-3 scores. Knowing your personal HS-Omega-3 Index will allow you to control your heart risk by altering your diet or taking fish oil supplements to achieve cardio-protective omega-3 levels.

What does the test include? The HealthCheckUSA Omega-3 Index test is taken via a finger-stick test HealthCheckUSA will send you. It measures the amount of two heart-healthy fats—docosahexaenoic and eicosapentaenoic acids, or DHA and EPA, deposited in the membranes of red blood cells after consuming fish or other foods rich in Omega-3s.

Omega-3 fatty acids are healthy fats that have been found to reduce the risk of death from heart disease. A growing body of research also suggests they may also boost memory and combat arthritis. The American Heart Association recommends eating fatty fish at least twice a week, and some doctors also recommend fish-oil supplements.

Please note: A hard copy of these results will be sent via US mail. They will not be viewable online.
