An omega-3 blood test measures the level of omega-3 fatty acids (mainly EPA and DHA) in your blood, often reported as an ‘omega-3 index’. These essential fats support heart, brain and general health and mostly come from oily fish.

Many people in the UK have a lower-than-ideal omega-3 index. The test gives an objective picture of your status and a baseline to track if you change your diet or start a supplement.

Understanding Your Omega-3 Result

The omega-3 index is given as a percentage; a higher index is generally associated with better cardiovascular health, while a low index suggests your intake of oily fish or supplements is low.

Your result is best interpreted alongside the rest of your cardiovascular risk picture, such as cholesterol and lifestyle.

Who Might Consider an Omega-3 Test?

It may interest you if you rarely eat oily fish, are focused on heart or brain health, or want to check whether a supplement is actually raising your levels.

At The Vesey it can be booked on its own or as part of a wider wellbeing panel.
