Yeah, my omega-3 index, the last time I measured is around 10%, kind of in that zone. We use my blood here at the laboratory to, you know, we always run a high and a low control blood of omega-3. So mine is a high and I got to keep it high. It's for the business to keep going.

And I do about 1400 milligrams a day of EPA and DHA. Two pills, 700 milligrams each. I don't eat fish as often as I should. You know, I think everybody says that. I try to eat, you know, once or twice a week, I'll eat salmon. I wish I did more, but, you know, grandchildren, life, you know, gets in the way. So that's kind of what I do.

Well, we recommend that pregnant women look at their, we have at OmegaQuant, we have a test called the, it's a pregnancy test. It's DHA specific, not EPA and DHA, DHA specific, red cell DHA. And that level we target is 5%. Above 5% is good. And this is

It's probably even better above 5%, but we set this 5% target for pregnant women based on evidence that women above 5% don't have an increased risk for premature birth. So premature birth is kind of a big deal. Now it would be omega-3. Low omega-3 does predispose, below 5% predispose. I mean, it doesn't, it's no guarantee by any means, but they're higher risk for premature birth under that 5%.

So that's pregnant women. Babies, children, not much experience there. People have not done many studies to where that would inform users of what is a healthy, what's the optimal level omega-3 index for a five-year-old. I don't know. 8% is not going to be bad. 6% is going to be great. I'd probably aim for something like 6% in a kid just to get started early in life. But I don't know.

I can't point to evidence for that. That's just a gut feeling. But I would not necessarily feel like you have to push an 8% target in a 5-year-old or even a 10-year-old. But if you get them used to either eating fish optimally or taking supplements, it's gonna be better for them in the long run. Almost all the research we do is adults. And so that's where we have our experience.

Yeah, that's a persistent goal of mine and a persistent frustration of mine. And I sense it in your voice as well. There... if you could just get the medical community, whatever that is, to see this data and realize, put two and two together and say, we really ought to be testing.
