The Omega-3 index provides information on how much of the healthy Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are present in your blood. Research suggests that an Omega-3 index above 4.5% is optimal from a preventative perspective. There is growing evidence that Omega-3 fatty acids can affect cognitive function, boost immune function and prevent heart disease. Omega-3 fatty acids are particularly important for maintaining neurocognitive function in old age, especially in people who carry the APOE4 gene, which increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease. The main mechanism by which Omega-3 fatty acids exert their beneficial effects is by reducing inflammation.
