The Power of Omega-3s
If there was ONE nutrient that could:
Decrease inflammation
Lower your risk of Alzheimer's and dementia
Decrease your risk of blood clots, heart disease and arrhythmias
Protect your eyes
Decrease autoimmune symptoms (1 in 5 has at least one autoimmune condition)
Improve your cholesterol
Modulate pain
Wouldn’t you want to know if you’re getting enough of it?
Fortunately, this nutrient exists. It’s omega-3 fatty acid and there is a simple Omega-3 Blood Test you can do at home to find out if you’re getting enough in your diet.
If you’re eating fatty fish – think salmon, mackerel, sardines – at least two times per week and eating nuts and seeds every day, you earn a gold star!
But most of us don’t meet the recommended intake of omega-3 fatty acids. And some of us may not be efficient at processing omega-3 fatty acids due to impaired absorption (leaky gut), impaired liver health (your liver is the center of regulation for all fatty acids), low zinc status (common with leaky gut or vegetarian/vegan diets) or high alcohol use.
Maybe you’re not the best at eating enough omega-3s through your diet but you’re diligent at supplementing. That’s a smart move.
But testing is still the only way to know if what you’re doing is getting you in the desirable range.
You can use the Omega-3 Index Blood Test to measure the presence of omega-3 fatty acids in your red blood cells. This is the first step toward ensuring that your index is in the desirable range. With your Omega-3 Index results, you’ll have the tools to adjust your omega-3 intake and retest in as little as 4-6 months to track how the dietary changes affect your Omega-3 Index.
