- Omega-3 Index – combined EPA + DHA: This test measures the combined amount of EPA and DHA in your red blood cell membranes and reports them as a single Omega-3 Index percentage. EPA and DHA are long-chain omega-3 fatty acids that support cardiovascular, cognitive, visual and inflammatory health. Because red blood cells reflect fatty-acid intake over several months, the Omega-3 Index provides a longer-term view of your omega-3 status rather than showing the effects of a recent meal or supplement dose. EPA and DHA are not reported as separate results on this test.
