Omega-3 Index

A New Measure of Omega-3 Intake


Research suggests that blood levels of EPA and DHA are a potential indicator of heart health. The omega-3 index measures blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA content of red blood cell membranes). Increasing the omega-3 index can be accomplished by consuming fatty fish, fish oil supplements, or SDA-containing foods.
