The HS-Omega-3 Index is the proportion of the two marine Omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in red blood cells, as analysed with the only standardised analytical procedure available. A high HS-Omega-3 Index is associated with a long life expectancy, few myocardial infarctions, a good structure and function of the brain, little psychiatric disease, and other health benefits. Importantly, prospective intervention trials demonstrated that most of the health issues mentioned can be improved by increasing the HS-Omega-3 Index by increased intake of EPA and DHA.
