I haven't asked, but their test says it's "whole blood" which includes what you ate, adipose flux, and RBCs. So I'm pretty sure that's what they'd say..
But if for some reason, they might know how it compares to an adipose tissue biopsy. Maybe the reason why nobody does it is because it’s 1:1 to a fasted blood draw or some other formula.
I asked some doctor friends about an adipose tissue biopsy and they also haven’t heard of it.
Have you asked the omegaquant people directly how their test compares to an adipose tissue biopsy?

I've sent them an email, we'll see if they reply :)
