The University of Stirling, which has pioneered the development of rapid blood analysis for Omega 3 testing in the UK “Omega 3 has widely acknowledged benefits for people with cardiovascular disease and diseases with an inflammatory origin i.e. rheumatoid arthritis.
Omega 3 may also help those with neural disorders including autism and ADHD. The highest levels of Omega 3 are in fish. Most people have about 25% Omega 3 in their blood but more than 50% is the ideal level.
Prior to 2006, there was no laboratory in the UK to carry out rapid testing of blood spot samples for Omega 3 – all blood for testing was taken directly from the vein in a procedure which had to be carried out by medical practitioners. The Institute developed the Omega Blood Count™ test in Stirling and now receives spot blood samples for testing from the UK, USA and around the globe.

Omega-3s and Your HealthThe omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) have been shown to benefit a wide variety of health conditions affecting the heart, brain, eyes and joints. They’ve also been associated with healthy aging in general. Thousands of papers have been published on their effects on the body, and the research is not slowing down.
Unfortunately most people don’t get enough of these important nutrients from their diets, which is why testing blood levels is so important. |
