What is the Omega-3 Index?

The Omega-3 Index is the measurement of omega-3 fatty acids in your blood plasma. Specifically, it is a measure of the two most important omega-3 fatty acids: EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).

Why is the Omega-3 Index Important?

Your Omega-3 Index is important as scientific research has linked the level of omega-3 fatty acids in your blood with your personal risk of coronary heart disease. Coronary heart disease is the number two cause of death for Canadian adults, so knowing your Omega-3 Index can tell you what path your cardiovascular health is on and allows you to make changes to your lifestyle and diet.

What is the goal for a personal Omega-3 Index level?

The goal for Omega-3 Index levels is to be at 8% or higher. At this level of omega-3 in the blood, one is considered to be at low risk for coronary heart disease.
