Organic & Natural Health Association is looking for corporate sponsorship of its campaign to promote consumers' testing for their omega-3 levels after enrolling more than 1,200 people in its study in 2017-2018. The Washington-based organization announced at its national conference in Fort Myers, Fla., Jan. 22-23, that around 5,000 participants are needed to generate sufficient data on health outcomes linked to omega-3 index level values, which participants test every three to six months. ONHA CEO Karen Howard the $100 price for the single-use self-test kits can be a barrier for some people interested in participating in the study the organization and GrassrootsHealth are conducting with a five-year goal of linking increased omega-3 levels to specific health outcomes. "In order to expand this study additional funding to cover the costs of the test kits will help us get there more quickly,” Howard said. Linking use of the fatty acid to specific health outcomes "will give consumers a specific roadmap to boost their omega-3 levels so the current data on omega-3 does not remain arbitrary,” she added.
