Acude a un centro para la toma de muestra

The Red Blood Cell Membrane Fatty Acids Test analyses your omega-3 levels and other essential fatty acids. Unlike plasma analysis, which reflects recent dietary intake, the red blood cell membrane profile provides an accurate picture of your nutritional status over the previous 3 months.
¿Where is it done?

We explain how it works — it’s very simple:
1.- Buy your test online: once the payment is completed, you will receive a confirmation email and an invoice in your email inbox.
2.- Visit your nearest center: with your email and/or invoice (you can show it on your phone), come to any of our Laboratorio Echevarne centers. No appointment is required.
3.- Professional sample collection: our specialized staff will take the sample quickly and safely.

Descripción

It offers valuable information about your cardiovascular, brain and metabolic health. Results are available in approximately 20 working days, together with personalised recommendations for supplementation and adjustments to the Mediterranean diet based on your individual fatty acid profile.

The fatty acids that make up the membrane of erythrocytes (red blood cells) are a faithful reflection of dietary intake and nutritional status over the past 3-4 months.
The test accurately measures the proportion of different fatty acids, such as omega-3 (EPA and DHA), omega-6, and saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, offering a detailed profile of your lipid balance.
The result, known as the Omega-3 Index, is a scientifically validated marker associated with cardiovascular and brain health, as well as the prevention of inflammatory and metabolic diseases.
This analysis is especially useful for personalizing dietary and supplementation recommendations, tailored to your unique profile.

This test is for you if:
•You want to know your actual levels of omega-3 and other essential fatty acids.
•You have cardiovascular risk factors or want to prevent them.

How does it work?

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Omega-3 Index?

It is the ratio of EPA and DHA in the membranes of red blood cells, a reliable indicator of long-term omega-3 intake.

Why is it useful to know my omega-3 levels?

A low Omega-3 Index has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, chronic inflammation, cognitive decline and low mood. Knowing your actual levels, rather than estimating dietary intake, allows for more accurate adjustments to your Mediterranean diet and supplementation.

Does the result tell me exactly what to eat?

The report provides general guidance but should be interpreted by a doctor or nutritionist to define personalized recommendations.

How often should it be repeated?

It is recommended every 6–12 months, especially if there have been changes in diet or supplementation.

Which fatty acids does this test analyse?

This test analyses the complete fatty acid profile of red blood cell membranes, including omega-3 (EPA, DHA and DPA), omega-6, omega-9, as well as saturated and trans fatty acids. The Omega-3 Index is the most important indicator of cardiovascular and brain health.

Do I need to fast before the Fatty Acids Test?

It is recommended to fast for at least 4 hours before the blood sample is taken to ensure the most accurate results. Please follow the specific instructions provided by your Echevarne centre when booking the test.
