WHC Omega-3 Index Test
Test if you eat enough omega-3 fatty acids with a simple blood test
The cell membranes of red blood cells are a good reflection of the fats your body uses. With a simple blood test, you can determine whether you are consuming enough omega-3 fatty acids. You take this test yourself with a few drops of blood from your finger. Based on the results, you can adjust your omega-3 fatty acid intake or confirm that you are on the right track.
