What happened to the percentile ranks in the Complete Report?

by | Jun 15, 2020

The Omega-3 Index Complete report no longer includes percentile ranks, but instead provides the fatty acid values representing 99% of all samples measured at OmegaQuant over the last 10 years. You can see if you are higher or lower within the range of normal values for each fatty acid. We decided to do away with the percentile ranks because for all the fatty acids except those with set target levels, being higher or lower may not be “good” or “bad” with regards to health– we just don’t know yet. The reference ranges are provided simply to give an idea of how these values compare to a large number of others taken from a relatively healthy population.
