What does it mean if my Omega-3 Index is below 8%?

by | Jun 15, 2020

  • The Omega-3 Index target range of 8-12% is important, but it doesn’t mean that anything below that is completely unhealthy, especially for those who might be at 6-7%. The research has shown that people in the 8-12% range tend to have better health outcomes in relation to the heart, brain and eyes. Below 4% is associated with the most negative health outcomes. Going from 4% to 8% is a great goal for anyone worried about general wellness. If you are not quite at 8% yet, you’re still making great progress.
