Omega-3 Index Test
1 recommend
Last discussed Apr 6, 2026
A blood test that measures omega-3 fatty acid levels in red blood cell membranes, with optimal levels being 8-12%.
What creators think
Rhonda Patrick, Tommy Wood, and Will Bolsewicz all recommend testing your omega-3 status rather than assuming supplementation is working. Patrick puts it plainly — "you don't know what you don't measure" — while Wood and Bolsewicz both point to a target index above 8% (Bolsewicz cites an 8–12% range, Wood suggests 6% as a floor with 8% as the goal). The agreement on testing as a baseline is real, though the signal here is a small group of health-focused creators, not a broad cross-section.
