Besides their immense Benefits for Brain and Mental Health, other areas of health, where omega-3 fatty acids can benefit you, are: (just click on the links below to learn more)

The omega-3-6 index is defined as the amount of EPA plus DHA in red blood cell membranes expressed as the percent of total red blood cell membrane fatty acids .

The EPA + DHA content of red blood cell membranes correlates with that of all body cells, and several observational studies indicate that a lower omega-3 index is associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease mortality.

It is therefore proposed that the omega-3 index be used as a biomarker for risk assessment for many diseases, among them heart disease, brain diseases like Alzheimer's dementia, mental illness, depression, anxiety, asthma, cancer, Type 2 diabetes, and general health and longevity.

Omega 3-and 6- fatty acids together with cholesterol are necessary components of healthy cell membranes throughout your body.

TThe Omega-3 Index is actually two things. Most important, it is a risk factor for brain, heart disease, just like cholesterol. But it is also an actual test you can take to assess your omega-3 status. Unlike a cholesterol test, you don’t need a doctor obtain an Omega-3 Index test. In fact, most doctors won’t automatically test your omega-3 level during annual well visits, even though most people don’t get sufficient amounts of these nutrients from their diets.

A good article about where Omega-3's come from can be found HERE.

But really, contrary to popular opinion, Omega 3's do not originate in seafood, fish or animals at all.

Watch in our video above how Bill Harris describes which organism - it's a plant! really makes Omega-3's and how they then get into the fish...

Of course, you could just take a combined 1500 mg of EPA and DHA to raise your omega-3-levels to higher levels.

But maybe you would be wasting money for something you don't need?

Omega 3-and 6- fatty acids together with cholesterol are necessary components of healthy cell membranes throughout your body.

Instead of just taking Fish Oil or expensive supplements, consider taking the test first and then doing a calculation how much you really need to take.

As Bill Harris States in our Interview, Omega-3's play a role in preventing dementia, reducing stress and probably also ADHD, Depression and Anxiety Disorders.

As this is a new field of scientific study, we can expect for so much more good information to get out in the future.

Watch in our video above how Bill Harris describes which organism - it's a plant! really makes Omega-3's and how they then get into the fish...

Most people only know that Omega-3's can be found in fatty fish, like mackerel, herring, sardines and salmon.

But there are many options for Non-Fish-Eaters, Vegetarians, and even Vegans to get their omega-3's from plant sources.

We often think that our food contains all the nutrients we need for optimal health.

And this would be awesome.

Sadly, nowadays this is no longer the case, due to exhausted soils, artificial fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides, medications that can be drug-muggers and us eating (on average) too much processed foods.

The easiest way - once you took your omega-3-index test and determined that it was less than desirable, is to to supplement with a good nutritional supplement.

There are many choices available. If you'd like my help with this, feel free to book a complimentary consultation with Dr. Christine to discuss your needs and options.

Since Omega-3's are hidden in food, it is often impossible to know exactly how much to take..

The best option is to

FIRST, get your initial Omega-3-index test

THEN, use this convenient calculato to find out exactly how much you need to take to get to your desired target level.

Many people are not aware that certain forms of Omega-3's are better absorbed than others.

See what Dr. Bill Harris says about this in our interview...

And often, in some clinical studies, insufficient dosages or chemical forms or=f Omega-3-s were used to supposedly discourage their use.

The easiest way - once you took your omega-3-index test and determined that it was less than desirable, is to to supplement with a good nutritional supplement.

Here is a good overview of why omega-3's - in the right dosage and chemical forms - are very effective!

There are other very important tests - besides the Omega-3-Index itself, that are important for Brain and Mental Health.

Some of the most important ones assess

Vitamin D-levels and

Vitamin B12-levels.

For women wo hare pregnant or want to conceive, the prenatal test is recommended.

And of course, if you want to keep your furry friend healthy, there is a test for pets!
