LifeLabs
  • Omega Score™

    The Omega Score™ test is an essential fatty acid test that measures the amount of long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, specifically eicosapenaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic aid (DHA), present in the blood. Specific blood levels of EPA and DHA have been associated with a reduced risk of sudden death from cardiovascular disease. The Omega Score™ test is available globally.

  • PLAC® test

    PLAC test The PLAC® test quantifies the amount of Lp-PLA2, an enzyme involved in the formation of rupture-prone arterial plaque, in the blood. Patients with high blood levels of this enzyme have a higher risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke.

  • ASA Effect™ test

    ASA Effect test The ASA Effect™ test is used to identify patients who are resistant to the cardiovascular benefits of daily low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) consumption. This simple urine test measures the inhibitory effect of ASA on thromboxane, a proinflammatory eicosanoid implicated in the development of cardiovascular disease

  • CardioMPO™ test

    The CardioMPO™ test quantifies the amount of myeloperoxidase (MPO), a proinflammatory enzyme involved in the development of rupture-prone arterial plaque, in the blood. Patients with high levels of this enzyme have a higher risk of suffering a heart attack.

Prenatal Health Tests

  • DHA Score™ breast milk test Prenatal Health

    The DHA Score™ is a test that measures the amount of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an omega-3 fatty acid required for cognitive and retinal development, in the breast milk. The DHA Score™ is used by breastfeeding women to confirm whether their DHA levels are adequate and to ensure they are providing their infant with optimal nutrition for brain function and eye health.
