Are your Omega 3 supplements really doing their job? There’s one simple way to find out — and it might just change the way you approach your health.
If you're like most people, you started taking an Omega 3 supplement because you heard it supports heart health, brain function, radiant skin, or even a better mood. And you're right — Omega 3 fatty acids, especially EPA and DHA, are essential for overall vitality. But what most people don’t know is this: taking a supplement doesn’t always mean you’re absorbing enough to make a real impact.
That’s why testing your levels through the Omega-3 Index Plus Test is one of the smartest things you can do for your health.
What Is the Omega-3 Index?
The Omega-3 Index is a clinically validated test that measures the amount of EPA and DHA (two critical Omega 3 fatty acids) in your red blood cell membranes. Developed by leading researcher Dr. William Harris, this test is far more than a wellness fad — it's a powerful indicator of long-term health, used in over 200 peer-reviewed studies.
Why does this matter?
Because your Omega 3 status directly impacts your heart, brain, skin, joints, mood, and more.
Here’s how your results break down:
-
8% or higher: Optimal — associated with improved heart and cognitive health
-
4–8%: Moderate — some protection, but still room to improve
-
Below 4%: Low — linked to higher risks of heart disease, inflammation, and cognitive decline
Even people who take an Omega 3 supplement daily are often surprised to learn that they fall into the low category.
Why Test Instead of Guess?
Here's the truth: Omega 3 testing helps you move from “I hope it’s working” to “I know it’s working.”
Without testing, you’re essentially flying blind — and wasting time, money, and energy on a supplement that may not be delivering results. With the Omega-3 Index Plus Test, you gain clear, actionable insight into whether your current approach is truly benefiting your body.
Many of our customers say the test was a wake-up call — especially those experiencing:
-
Brain fog or forgetfulness
-
Mood swings or increased stress sensitivity
-
Dry, itchy, or flaky skin
-
Joint stiffness or post-exercise soreness
-
Low energy or prolonged fatigue
-
Trouble sleeping
If any of these symptoms sound familiar, it could be your body’s way of asking for more EPA and DHA.
Why Most Omega 3 Supplements Don’t Deliver
One of the most common things we hear as healthcare practitioners is, “I’m taking fish oil, but I’m not seeing a difference.”
And there’s a good reason for that.
Not all Omega 3 supplements are created equal. In fact, here are four of the biggest issues:
1. Low EPA/DHA Content
Some brands list “fish oil” on the label but contain only 100–200 mg of active EPA and DHA — far below the amount needed to make a clinical impact.
2. Poor Bioavailability
Rancid oils, poor extraction methods, or unstable forms (like ethyl esters) lead to poor absorption. If your supplement smells fishy or gives you burps, it's likely oxidized.
3. Additives and Fillers
Many mainstream supplements include synthetic preservatives, artificial colors, or even titanium dioxide — none of which belong in your body.
4. Gelatin Sources You Didn’t Approve
If you avoid pork or beef, you may be unknowingly consuming them through bovine- or porcine-derived capsules. Most labels don’t disclose this clearly.
