2. Mail Sample - Put your sample in the return envelope and drop it in the mail.
3. Get Results - In 2-4 weeks you will get your personalized results.
4. Modify Diet - Once you have a complete picture of your body’s fats, you can optimize them with simple dietary changes.
5. Monitor - Track how your dietary changes affect your blood levels by testing regularly.

The Omega-3 Index+ At-Home Test Kit is a blood test that measures the Omega-3 Index, Omega-6 to Omega-3 Ratios, Trans Fat Index and Complete Profile of 24 individual fatty acids. As a part of an overall healthy lifestyle, an Omega-3 Index in the 8-12% range may help to maintain heart, brain, eye and joint health, and a Trans Fat Index of less than 1% may help to support heart and brain health. This test will explain what other fatty acid levels can (or can’t) tell you about your health, based on current research. Once you know your blood levels, you can modify your diet and change your blood levels in as little as 3-4 months.
