Fatty acid status is one of the most modifiable risk factors in preventive medicine — yet it remains one of the most undertested.
The Omega-3 Index is a validated predictor of cardiac events. An index below 4% doubles the risk compared to above 8%.
Omega-6:Omega-3 and AA:EPA ratios reveal the body's inflammatory set-point — critical for chronic disease management.
Maternal DHA status directly affects foetal brain and retinal development. Most pregnant women are deficient.
Verify that omega-3 supplementation is actually working. Blood levels, not labels, tell the real story.
Higher Omega-3 Index is associated with larger brain volume, slower cognitive decline, and reduced dementia risk.
Over 80% of the global population has an Omega-3 Index below the optimal 8% threshold.
