Omega Balance Test
How It Works:
Home test kit delivered: Once booked, a prepaid test kit is shipped directly to your door within 2–3 days. Everything you need for safe and accurate sample collection is included.
Sample Type: a small blood spot sample, collected at home.
Laboratory Analysis: Once your sample is received, it is analysed over 3 to 4 weeks. The test measures 11 fatty acids, including saturated, monounsaturated (Omega-9), and polyunsaturated fats (Omega-6 and Omega-3), along with six important health markers, including your Omega-3 Index and Omega-6:3 Balance.
Consultation & Report: If a consultation is booked, it will take place once your results are ready. During the session, we’ll discuss your symptoms, health concerns, and goals in detail. You will then receive a comprehensive report along with a personalised health plan tailored to your results.
DIY: The computer-generated report is well-structured and easy to understand, with traffic light colour coding to help interpret your results.
What is an OMEGA BALANCE TEST and why do you need one?
An Omega Balance Test is a simple at-home blood spot test that measures your levels of essential fatty acids, particularly your Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio. A healthy balance between these two fatty acids is vital for managing inflammation, supporting brain health, and promoting overall well-being.
This test helps determine whether your body is in a pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory state and evaluates how effectively your cell membranes are functioning. It also evaluates your OMEGA-3 Index, a well-established marker of cardiovascular and cognitive health. It reflects the amount of OMEGA-3 (EPA and DHA) present in your red blood cell membranes, an important indicator of your overall inflammatory status and disease risk.
The results can guide dietary and lifestyle changes that restore balance and support long-term health.
Who is this test for?
This test is ideal for individuals who:
Want to reduce inflammation and promote long-term wellness
Are concerned about their lipid metabolism, OMEGA-6:3 ratio or OMEGA-3 Index
Experience symptoms such as brain fog, fatigue, low mood, or joint pain
Are taking OMEGA-3 supplements and want to check their effectiveness
Seek to improve cardiovascular health, cognitive performance, and cellular function
