Why is Omega-3 DHA so important during pregnancy?
DHA is essential for both pregnant women and their growing babies. Research suggests that DHA reduces the risk of preterm birth and preeclampsia, ensures a healthy pregnancy, and improves a mother's mood after birth. Moreover, it is also associated with enhanced neurological development and overall better health for the growing fetus.
If I am taking an omega-3 supplement during pregnancy, do I still need the test?
Yes! Testing for Omega-3 DHA levels is the only way to measure its concentration in the mother's blood. The individual differences in metabolism, absorption, and genetics make it impossible to predict how a given person will respond to supplements with certainty.
Can I book the Omega Score-P test online?
Yes! Once you book the test on our website, LifeCell will promptly ship the kit to you and guide you through the entire testing process.
Can I return an unused collection kit?

Is the sample collection process painful?

What will the test analyze?
Once our lab receives your sample, our health expert will evaluate levels of DHA in the blood. You'll receive your personalized test report on your dashboard as well as on your personal email.
Should I keep taking omega-3 DHA after I have my baby?
Yes, DHA is beneficial for both pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers. In fact, LifeCell's OmegaScore-N test helps measure your DHA levels through the breastmilk after you have given birth. For more information, click here.
What can I do to correct my Omega-3 DHA index?
Based on your results, a doctor may recommend dietary changes such as incorporating fish & seafood in your diet or consuming plant-based DHA supplements to correct your Omega-3 DHA status.
When can I retest my Omega-3 DHA levels?
You can retest your DHA levels after you have been on the recommended diet or supplements for close to 4 weeks.
