The approach
Measure first, then decide
Without measured values, any treatment is guesswork. We turn the order around: first the lab report, then the decision.
-
01
Measure 15–21 fatty acids from one capillary blood sample, analysed at the partner laboratory in Germany.Omega-3/6 test · capillary blood · 7–21 days from sample arrival
-
02
See where you stand Every value appears in the lab report alongside the laboratory reference range. You can see which values fall inside it and which do not.Lab report including consultation
-
03
Targeted rather than blanket Instead of a standard package, you take what your values point to — agreed with a practitioner.Initial consultation, 10 minutes, free
-
04
Measure again after a few months The same analysis a second time shows how the values have changed.Earliest sensible interval: 3 months
Ory experts support you
Doctors and non-medical practitioners from the Ory team are there for you throughout — with the lab report and with everything that follows.
What a value means, and whether a supplement is right for you, is something to discuss with a practitioner. This page makes no recommendation and is no substitute for medical assessment.

What this analysis includes
What is measured
15–21 fatty acids from one capillary blood sample, including the Omega-3 Index, EPA/AA ratio and trans fats.
The biomarker reference explains what lies behind the numbers: how values interact, which cofactors are involved and which biochemical processes take place in the body — for all values and areas, not only this analysis.
To the biomarker reference
For whom
The Omega-3/6 test suits anyone who wants to look into silent inflammation, exhaustion or a raised cardiovascular risk caused by an imbalance between omega-3 and omega-6 — one of the most common causes, and usually an unnoticed one.
What a single value means in your situation is something to discuss with a practitioner. It does not replace medical assessment.
How it works
Four steps from order to lab report.
- 01 Kit arrives Ships the next working day, postage paid to your door.
- 02 Take the blood A small prick on the fingertip.
- 03 Send it in Post it in the postage-paid envelope.
- 04 Lab report arrives 7–21 days after the sample reaches the laboratory, consultation included.
Instructions
The essentials first:
- Warm the hand up well first, clean the finger with an alcohol swab and let it dry.
- Prick the side of the fingertip and fill the tube.
- Close the tube tightly and post it in the postage-paid envelope.
Please read the instructions carefully. Correct preparation matters: only then can your sample – stool, urine, saliva or blood – be evaluated cleanly and meaningfully.

Sending your sample back
So that your sample reaches the laboratory safely, please follow the rule for your country.
| Country | Postage | Shipping |
|---|---|---|
| Germany | Already paid | Return postage is arranged, you do not need to add a stamp. |
| Austria | Add your own postage | To our address in Vienna, not to Germany. |
| Switzerland | Add your own postage | Separate return bag for Switzerland, sent to Germany. |
| Rest of Europe | Add your own postage | Sent to Germany. |
In short: Germany, nothing to do. Austria, add postage and send to Vienna. Switzerland, add postage, special bag, send to Germany. Rest of Europe, add postage and send to Germany.
