Omega-3 Test

(4 customer reviews)

This essential omega-3 test uses just a few drops of blood that you can collect at home, and with quick results and recommendations you can start to improve your health.

Fatty acids are vital for our physical and mental health, as they are the building blocks for all of the cell membranes in our bodies. Yet deficiencies and imbalances in omega-3 are widespread and this can result in symptoms of omega-3 deficiency including dry and irritated skin, acne, depression, dry eyes, joint pain and lacklustre hair.

Take the omega-3 test today.

What is measured?

99% of fatty acids are measured in the blood, used to calculate:-
1. Omega-3 Index- The amount of omega-3 fatty acids present in your red blood cells compared to total fatty acids
2. Omega 6:3 Ratio – Comparing the amount of omega-6 (which is pro-inflammatory) to omega-3 (which is anti-inflammatory)
3. AA:EPA Ratio – Comparing the key pro-inflammatory omega-6 (AA) to the key anti-inflammatory omega-3 (EPA)
4. DHA Ratio – if you are pregnant, hoping to be pregnant in the next year or are breastfeeding, the test will also measure your DHA compared to the rest of the fatty acids. DHA plays a considerable role in foetal development. It is essential for brain, eye and immune system development and also reduces the risk of early preterm birth. Having > 5% red blood cell DHA helps provide the baby with enough DHA whilst helping preserve your own DHA levels.

Who should test?

Everyone! On average, in the UK, a person’s omega-3 levels are below the healthy range.

Those most at risk are:

  • Individuals with a poor diet
  • Vegetarians/vegans
  • Anyone struggling with mental health (particularly anxiety and depression)
  • Pregnant, soon-to-be pregnant or breastfeeding mothers
  • Athletes or those that regularly exercise intensively
  • Menopausal and post-menopausal women

Benefits of optimal omega-3 levels

Having an optimal amount of omega-3 may bring health benefits, such as:-

  • Significantly improved heart health
  • Regulation of the body’s natural inflammation
  • Improved mental health (particularly anxiety and depression)

Research also indicates that ideal omega-3 amounts can help prevent or treat inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, IBS, and skin conditions such as acne. In addition, Omega-3 correct quantities can help prevent individuals from developing autoimmune diseases, lower triglyceride, cholesterol and LDL levels (Low-density lipoproteins), and increase HDL (High-density lipoproteins) levels.

Vitamin D Test | NeoVos

Mandy Brown

Good service. Test report clear and concise. The only downside for me was the colour of the packaging – white writing on a yellow background. I found it really difficult to read. The instructions inside were also very faded ink. If you are doing this for the first time, the last thing you want to be doing is struggling to read the instructions

The test was easy to do at home and from activating the test all the way through to the report, there was clear communication. The test report was very clear and concise and written in plain English and not technical. I am now able to take measures to counteract a deficiency. Amazing service from start to finish

Simple and easy to use in the comfort of my own home. Results came through pretty quickly. I would definitely recommend to others and I will use this for my client as a nutritional therapist it’s good to get an understanding of baseline levels before adding any supplements.

Easy to use blood spot (rather than vial) test, simple to do at home. Clear instructions made this a breeze. Results came through quickly, and were easy to understand, would definitely recommend to my nutritional therapy clients so they can assess their levels and understand if they may need to supplement.

I found out my results were poor after taking the test and started taking Omega 3 capsules. I was plagued with migraines having 2 a week roughly and am delighted to say they have gone. Can’t recommend this product enough!

The NeoVos Omega 3 test is an excellent diagnostic tool especially for my fertility clients as it provides a breakdown of both DHA versus EPA which is really helpful to ensure optimal levels are achieved when trying to conceive through to pregnancy.
