General FAQs
Home-to-lab testing allows individuals to collect samples comfortably at home. The main advantages of home sampling include convenience, privacy, and accessibility, as individuals can perform the tests at their own convenience.
Once the sample is collected, it is sent to our laboratory for analysis from anywhere in the world. You will be notified on your registered email once the results are ready, and can be downloaded from your registered account.
DBS testing is no more painful than a self-prick for a glucometer test. The kit contains one-time-use safety lancets which are used for pricking a finger and depositing a sample on a special filter paper card. The blood spot deposited on the filter paper card is allowed to dry, and hence the name dried blood spot.
Similarly, some tests may require saliva, urine or stool samples, which can also be collected on special filter paper cards. This makes the sample collection completely non-invasive.
Watching the instructional video and carefully reading the instruction manual before conducting the test should ensure a smooth experience. Should you encounter any difficulties, please do not hesitate to contact us for assistance.
Once we receive your sample, the average response time is 7-10 business days to receive the results.
Lipomic LifeSciences can provide evidence-based suggestions for lifestyle changes that you can make to positively impact your health. We can also connect you with leading medical experts who can guide and discuss potential next steps.
Test Specific FAQs
You can take this test any time of the day. However, if you take Omega-3 supplements it is recommended that you take the test before taking the Omega-3 supplements.
Omega-3 index: is a measure of eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosapentaenoic (DHA) in your red blood cells. An Omega-3 index of 8% or above has been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, improved lipid profile, lowering blood-pressure, improved brain health and cognitive function, healthy pregnancy outcomes, and eye health such as age-related macular degeneration.
Omega-6/Omega-3 ratio is the measure of the balance between two types of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in the diet: omega-6 fatty acids and omega-3 fatty acids. Both omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids, and maintaining a ratio of less than 3:1 is crucial for promoting optimal health.
AA/EPA ratio is a novel marker of inflammatory response. Arachidonic acid (AA) is a precursor to various inflammatory mediators, including prostaglandins and leukotrienes, while EPA is known to inhibit inflammation. It is recommended to maintain an AA/EPA ratio of less than 3, leading to reduced inflammation, improved cardiovascular health, and lowered risk of inflammatory-related diseases.
Palmitic acid (PA) index represents the relative proportion of PA in your blood. Palmitic acid is a type of saturated fatty acid commonly found in various foods, including animal fats, palm oil, and palm kernel oil. High intake of palmitic acid has been associated with adverse health effects, including increased LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol levels, which is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
