Vitamins & minerals

Omega-3 index

Extended panel — run periodically

What it indicates

The proportion of omega-3 fatty acids in your red blood cell membranes.

Why a series helps

Red blood cells turn over across about four months, so this marker changes slowly and reads naturally as a series.

What this page does not tell you

What a particular Omega-3 index result means depends on you: your history, your medication, why the test was taken. Ziro does not interpret results for individuals and does not diagnose. If something in your results warrants a conversation, that conversation is with a doctor, and your results are downloadable so you can bring them.
