Omega-3 index blood test

The important role of omega-3 fatty acids for our health

Up to now, omega-3 fatty acids have mainly been ascribed a preventive effect against arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease. A protective effect against cardiac arrhythmia and the risk of sudden cardiac death has also become the centre of interest in recent years. The latest scientific findings show that the omega-3 index is a significant risk factor for sudden cardiac death.

The reduction in triglyceride levels and the increase in HDL cholesterol levels are among the most important cardioprotective properties of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids lower blood pressure, expand the microcirculation, slow down the aggregation of blood platelets and improve blood viscosity. It has also been demonstrated that they have a stabilising effect on carotid plaques. The most important cardioprotective effect of omega-3 fatty acids is against arrhythmias.

Omega-3 fatty acids have also been shown to have a positive effect on mental illnesses. Recent research has shown that omega-3 fatty acids can have a positive effect on schizophrenia, manic-depressive illnesses, depression and hyperactivity syndrome.

Tip from EnergyVital

The test should be carried out after you have not eaten for 10 hours, i.e. preferably in the morning. You should also not take any omega-3 supplements in the days before the test and should not eat more fatty fish such as salmon or mackerel than usual so as not to falsify the result.

Only for Germany and Austria

We would like to point out that these tests and the shipping procedures are optimised and pre-paid for Germany and Austria. Orders from further afield are problematic because the perishable biological samples may only be in transit for a limited time (maximum 4 days). Customers from Switzerland or other EU countries can of course try it at their own risk, but if the test fails, we decline any responsibility or reimbursement. You can find more information on this from the manufacturer!
