Omega-3 Index testing from OmegaQuant is more complex than you would think. Join us as we explore the details on our specific blood spot test and why we think it is superior to other omega-3 blood tests out there. To date, this internationally recognized test has been used in more than 200 clinical studies as the standard measure of omega-3 status. Why? Because it is a long-term stable and reliable marker of omega-3 status.
