Omega-3 (EPA+DHA) Index | 1.4-4.9 % |
Risk: | |
Index <2.2: | High |
Index 2.2-3.2: | Moderate |
Index >3.2: | Low |
Omega-6/Omega-3 Ratio | 5.7-21.3 |
EPA/Arachidonic Acid Ratio | ≤0.2 |
Arachidonic Acid | 5.2-12.9% |
EPA | 0.2-1.5 % |

1. Baseline and monitoring of individuals with known CVD (acute and chronic) to determine Rx and compliance.
2. Identify patients with known CVD risk with low omega-3 levels who may be candidates for supplementation/therapy.
3. Monitor patients on omega-3 supplementation/therapy to determine efficacy of treatment.
4. Potential role in risk reduction for non-CVD outcomes-aged related macular degeneration, RA, cancer, etc. (early data).

Expect Results in 3 to 4 business days. Fast for 10 hours prior to blood draw. While fasting do continue drinking water and taking any prescribed medication. If you are pregnant or diabetic, do not fast without consulting your physician.
