Hi, I’m Mikael.

I’ve spent 23 years in health and wellness. Since 2002 I’ve taken omega-3 supplements daily — different brands, different forms — and assumed I was covered.

When I finally measured my actual blood ratio, the number was nowhere near what I expected. Years of supplementing, no measurable change. That sent me deep into the research.

My first blood test · June 2025

18 : 1Modern Western/Urban Average

Research points to about 3:1 to 4:1.

After 23 years of daily fish oil. One person’s result, not a prediction for yours.

What I learned reshaped how I think about omega-3: the ratio matters more than totals, plant ALA isn’t the same as marine EPA/DHA, and a supplement only helps if the dose is high enough and the oil is still fresh.

I built myomegahealth to share that framework in plain language, without marketing. The articles here name no product. I’m also an Independent Partner with the company that makes the test and supplement I use, and that’s disclosed in full before you’re ever shown a product.
