The Omega-3 Index is the measurement of omega-3 fatty acids in blood plasma. Specifically, it is a measure of the two most important omega-3 fatty acids: EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).
Scientific research has linked the level of omega-3 fatty acids in your blood with your personal risk of coronary heart disease. Coronary heart disease is the number two cause of death for Canadian adults, so knowing your Omega-3 Index can tell you what path your cardiovascular health is on and allows you to make changes to your lifestyle and diet.
OmegaQuant is a company founded by the researchers who developed the Omega-3 Index. They offer a home test kit that allows you to easily take blood samples to be mailed in for testing. Your personal Omega-3 Index test results are then emailed directly to you.
