Questions we could help with

Real questions from people like you, and how an omega-3 & 6 blood test can help answer them.

Do I actually need an omega supplement?

This test shows whether you're getting enough active omega-3s from food and whether supplements would make sense for you.

Is my body getting the nutrients it needs?

This test shows whether your levels sit in the range associated with healthy inflammation regulation and cardiovascular health.

Why is my skin so irritated?

Your skin barrier depends on the right balance of omega-6 and omega-3. Imbalances may show up as dryness or redness.

Why do my joints feel stiff in the morning?

Omega-3 and omega-6 fats help regulate inflammatory processes in your body, and this test shows your balance so you know where you stand. Stiffness that lasts or swollen joints are best checked by a doctor.
