The test doesn't measure just one value — you'll receive a complete picture of your fatty acid balance.
The proportion of EPA + DHA in your red blood cells. Target value: 8–11%. The most important marker of your long-term Omega-3 supply — recognised by ISSFAL and used in over 2,000 studies.
Shows the balance between pro-inflammatory (Omega-6) and anti-inflammatory (Omega-3) fatty acids. Target value: below 3:1. The Western European average is 10:1 to 20:1.
A comprehensive report on Omega-3, Omega-6, Omega-9 and saturated fatty acids — with reference values and explanations of the biological function of each fatty acid.
No GP appointment. No venous blood draw. Just 5 minutes of your time.
The kit arrives within 3–5 working days by post. Everything included: lancet, filter card, disinfectant wipe, prepaid return envelope.
A small prick on your fingertip, a few drops of blood onto the filter card. Barely painful — like a blood glucose test.
Let the filter card dry, place it in the included envelope and send it free of charge by post to the laboratory in Oslo.
After 20–25 days you will receive your comprehensive fatty acid report online — anonymously and securely.
Your personal report doesn't just show you numbers — it explains what they mean. Each of the 11 fatty acids is compared with reference values from healthy individuals.
Results available at omegaratiotest.com — anonymous access, only you can see your data.
The independent analytical laboratory Vitas AS emerged from the Department of Nutrition at the University of Oslo and specialises in fatty acid analysis. This same laboratory also analyses the blood tests for Zinzino (BalanceTest) and is used in clinical research worldwide.
The DBS method is clinically validated: Harris WS et al. (2012), PMID: 22628085

A single Omega-3 test shows you where you stand. Two tests show whether your strategy is working. Red blood cells live for approximately 120 days — only after 4 months of targeted supplementation does the Omega-3 Index show the full change.
Test 1 — Baseline

Typical in Western Europe
Test 2 — after 4 months
9.1%
In the optimal range
Test 1: Now — to find out your baseline value. Test 2: After exactly 4 months of consistent supplementation. This lets you see the real effect on your Omega-3 Index and Omega-6:3 ratio. According to EFSA, as little as 250 mg of EPA+DHA per day contributes to normal heart function.

DBS = Dried Blood Spot. FA = Fatty acids. Prices as of March 2026. The Eqology and Zinzino tests are analysed by the same laboratory.
The test measures three areas: your Omega-3 Index (the proportion of EPA+DHA in your red blood cells), your Omega-6:Omega-3 ratio, and a profile of 11 fatty acids — including Omega-3, Omega-6, Omega-9 and saturated fatty acids. You will receive a comprehensive fatty acid report with reference values and explanations.
The DBS (Dried Blood Spot) method is clinically validated and delivers results comparable to venous blood tests from a laboratory (Harris et al., 2012). The analytical laboratory Vitas AS in Oslo holds GMP certification and specialises in fatty acid analysis. Advantage over the GP: most doctors only measure EPA+DHA in blood serum — that reflects the past few days, not the past few months.
After exactly 4 months of consistent supplementation. Red blood cells have a lifespan of approximately 120 days — only then does the Omega-3 Index fully reflect the change. A test after 2 months would be too early and not representative.
Yes. The Omega-3 test is available as a standalone product for €88 — no subscription, no commitment. You will receive the kit, the laboratory analysis and online access to your result. In the bundle with Pure Arctic Oil, the test costs just €66 (25% saving).
Yes. Your result is accessed at omegaratiotest.com using an anonymous code. Only you and the certified laboratory staff at Vitas AS have access to your data. No personal data is linked to the test result.
This test serves for personal information and does not replace a medical diagnosis. Reference values are based on the current state of nutritional research. Health claims are based on EFSA-approved health claims. In the event of health concerns, please consult your doctor.
9 in 10 Europeans have an Omega-3 Index that is too low. The test shows you in 5 minutes whether you are one of them — and what you can do about it.
