These essential fatty acids (EFAs) are considered “essential” because they are required for optimal health but cannot be produced by the body. You need to eat foods high in these nutrients or take a high quality supplement for a few months.

You can now purchase a Omega 3 Index Test for $45 through the clinic to find out how rich in EFA’s you are. You simply purchase the kit, register on-line, take the sample and send away and expect the test results within about 2 weeks.
