What it can help explain.
The omega-3 index shows how much of the omega-3 from fish and fish oil your body is actually holding on to. It reflects the last 3 to 4 months.
How much fish you eat
Shows whether your usual intake of oily fish is reaching your cells.
Checking a supplement
Shows whether the fish or algal oil you take is lifting your levels, which a label can't tell you.
Plant-based eating
Your body gets little of the useful omega-3 from plants, so it's worth checking if you eat no fish.
Heart health context
Adds another view to your Baseline cholesterol and triglycerides.

Every result is explained in plain English in the Vively app, next to your Baseline results.

This is a finger-prick kit you do at home, so it isn't part of your Baseline blood draw. You see it next to your Baseline cholesterol and triglycerides.
What's in the BaselineA GP in our network reviews your request and confirms which markers are clinically right for you.
How it works.
- Order with your membership
Pay for the test and your first month together, in one checkout.
- We arrange your referral
A short telehealth call with a GP in our network, included. They issue your Baseline and Omega-3 Index Test referrals together.
- Take your test
Your kit comes with instructions. Do the finger prick at home, let the blood spot card dry, and post it to Fatty Acid Labs. Your Baseline is a separate blood draw at a collection centre.
- See your results
Results arrive in the app, next to your Baseline. After your Baseline, a 30-minute session with your dietitian builds your plan.
Before your test.

Your hands

Questions people ask us.
Can I just buy the test on its own?
No, it's for Vively members. Your omega-3 result makes more sense next to your Baseline heart and inflammation markers. Your membership is $99 a month and includes the Baseline Health Check, a GP consult, a 30-minute dietitian consult after your Baseline and a personalised plan. Cancel any time, with no minimum term.
Why not just ask my GP?
Your GP tests what's needed to look into a symptom or manage a condition. Vively adds a 70+ marker Baseline Health Check, results read against optimal ranges, and a dietitian to help you act on them. We arrange the GP referral for you, so you don't need a separate appointment.
What if I'm already a member?
Add the Omega-3 Index Test in the Vively app. You won't pay for the membership again.
Do I need to see my own GP first?
No. You still need a referral, but we arrange it. A GP in our network issues your Baseline and Omega-3 Index Test referrals together after a short telehealth consult, at no extra cost.
Is this test covered by Medicare?
No. Add-on tests aren't covered by Medicare. Your Baseline Health Check is included in your membership.
Why isn't this part of my Baseline blood draw?
It's a finger-prick kit you do at home and post to Fatty Acid Labs, the lab that analyses it. Your Baseline is a separate blood draw at a collection centre. Results take about 2 weeks after the kit reaches the lab, plus postage, and appear in the Vively app.
How do I prepare for the finger prick?
No fasting is needed. Warm your hands under running water, wash and dry them well, and avoid hand cream. Let the card dry fully before you seal it and post it.
When should I retest?
Wait 3 to 4 months. It takes that long for a change to your diet or supplements to show fully. Keep your intake steady between tests.
I take blood thinners. Can I still do this test?
Yes, the test itself is fine. Speak with your GP before you increase any omega-3 supplement, as it can affect bleeding.
