Omega-3 Index Basic - The Original Omega-3 Blood Test Kit with one Drop of Blood Home Kit, Includes Blood Collection Kit | 1 Omega-3 Test Kit

Easy to use and in way less than 2 weeks I had my results; 12.7. Sardines and cod liver oil did the trick. Since this result I have backed off on cod liver oil because of SO much vitamin A. I now just eat sardines daily and will recheck in a few months.

This test is easy to use, requires only 1 drop of blood from a finger prick. Online results are available in just a few days. Even if you supplement with algal oil (or for omnivores, fish oil), the only way to know if you're supplementing the right amount of EFA/DHA is to test. Lab-based serum tests cost 2 to 4x what this little kit does, so this is a great value. When you get your results, the report has a link to a calculator to help figure out how much more Omega3 you need to supplement if you come up low.My only small gripe was the spring-loaded lancet included in the kit has a lot of force and bruised my finger tip, but that is what it is.

I received the product quickly with no problems.Everything I needed to complete the test was included and instructions were simple to follow.In less than 2 weeks, I received an email with link to my test results. I printed results and saved the digital copy to my computer. The website has easily accessible results available 24/7, so it is all very user friendly and cost effective.I have been learning more about the value of Omega 3’s, so this report is valuable to me, giving me a baseline to track how I am doing in getting to a healthy number.I highly recommend this valuable tool for anyone interested in tracking their health.

Great instructions and very easy process to complete the test.

The test comes with a device that pricks your finger so that you can draw blood. You only get 2 shots from the 2 devices that are included. I used both devices but struggled to get enough drops of blood to fill the circle on a paper card that is to be used for the blood test. But apparently I filled enough of the circle, because after about a week after mailing in my blood sample I received an email detailing my result. All in all, I am satisfied with the purchase and would probably recommend it for other people interested in finding out their omega-3 levels. The test result just gives you one number, a percentage, usually between 2% and 12%. It would have been nice to see separate DHA & EPA numbers.

It took couple wks to get results but I needed this test. It showed how VERY LOW I was on omega 3 oils that are vastly important for good health. I will def be upping my intake now! I recommend everyone getting this tested for sure.

The test was easy, and results were relatively fast. My main issue and the reason for the low rating is that they collect your birthdate. This would be fine if they did reasonable protections for your information. However, when your results are ready, unlike Everlywell or other companies which merely notify you that the results are ready; they email you a PDF with all your information including your birthdate. Allowing your email provider and anyone else to parse and obtain that information.

This test based on Bill Harris' Omega-3 research is the gold standard for Omega-3 blood tests.I've used other test kits from other brands, as well as other blood test kits in general. OmegaQuant has it down - easy to use kit, clear instructions.Get your Omega-3 blood levels tested, as there is no way to know your levels without testing your blood or tissue. Even people who eat seafood regularly tend to be somewhat lower than they think.
