98%
of people in the UK fell below the optimum levels of omega-3s
In a study conducted by researchers at Purdue University found that with the 200 people tested, most are not eating the recommended amount of omega-3s. Many of the participants in this test thought the foods they were eating had more omega-3 than they actually did.
50%
of the recommended seafood intake is currently being eaten in the UK
In a 2019 data provided by Seafish discovered that people in the UK are only eating half of the seafood that professionals recommend. Seafood is a rich source of omega-3s and is recommended to be eaten at least twice a week.
Experts Opinion on Omega Home Tests
"Ideally, there should be a suitable ratio of omega 6 to omega 3. Inflammatory diseases can sometimes result from an abnormal balance of these essential fatty acids.
This blood test can help you get a picture of your ratio and optimise your levels if necessary with diet or supplements."
