Features and Benefits
-
MegaRed® Extra Strength Omega-3 Krill Oil provides an optimal combination of Omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids, and the powerful antioxidant astaxanthin to support heart health.†
Benefits:
- 500 mg of pure Omega-3 Krill Oil
- Easily absorbed by the body
- Just 1 small softgel per day with no fishy odor or aftertaste
- Supports 3 markers of cardiovascular health
- Increases Omega-3 Index in just 30 days
- Sustainably sourced from Antarctic krill
MegaRed is easily absorbed by your body unlike products which only contain fish oil. That’s because the Omega-3 fatty acids in MegaRed are carried to the body’s cells in phospholipid form, allowing for easy absorption.-
MegaRed dissolves easily in your stomach—unlike fish oil, which floats on top. That means no fishy aftertaste. Regular fish oil supplements require you to take multiple pills daily.
MegaRed is much more convenient. One tiny softgel a day absorbs easily in the body.
Omega-3 at Work for You
-
MegaRed has been shown to significantly increase your Omega-3 Index in just 30 days.† The Omega-3 Index is a measure of the amount of Omega-3 fatty acids in your body’s cells. A higher Omega-3 Index is associated with better cardiovascular health and other health benefits.
With krill oil sustainably sourced from the Antarctic Ocean, MegaRed supports healthy triglyceride levels and Omega-3 index. It provides EPA and DHA in the recommended 2:1 ratio. These essential fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.1
-
The ingredients in MegaRed can help support several important factors related to your overall heart health.
OMEGA-3 INDEX – The Omega-3 Index is a measurement of the amount of Omega-3 fatty acids found in your red blood cells. Recent studies have shown that a rise in the Omega-3 Index may be associated with better cardiovascular health, not to mention joint and brain health.
CRP – C-reactive protein (CRP) is made in the liver and can be measured in the blood. CRP levels in the blood are sensitive to inflammation in the body. CRP is also an independent risk factor for poor cardiovascular health. Research has shown adequate intake of the Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA support healthy CRP levels and cardiovascular health.
TRIGLYCERIDES– Triglycerides are a type of fat found in the blood. A high level of triglycerides (above 150 mg/dl) can worsen cardiovascular health. Triglycerides are formed when you eat more calories than your body needs. A healthy diet and regular exercise can help regulate the amount of triglycerides in your bloodstream. Additionally, studies have shown that increasing your Omega-3 index can help support healthy triglycerides as well.
The Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Astaxanthin in MegaRed Support Cardiovascular Health†
MegaRed provides an optimal combination of Omega-3 fatty acids DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaeonic acid), essential fatty acids that may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.1
Astaxanthin is a naturally-occurring carotenoid and powerful antioxidant. Its unique molecular structure makes it very efficient at neutralizing free radicals throughout the body, supporting overall cardiovascular health.† Each MegaRed 500 mg Extra Strength pill contains 25 mcg of Astaxanthin.
There are 3 types of Omega-3:
- EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid) — a long chain Omega-3 fatty acid found in cold water fish, algae and krill. Supports heart health and joint health.† MegaRed contains 64 mg of EPA per serving.
- DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) — a long chain Omega-3 fatty acid found in cold water fish, algae and krill. Helps support heart health and brain health.† MegaRed contains 30 mg of DHA per serving.
- ALA (Alpha linolenic acid) — a short-chain Omega-3 fatty acid found in nuts and seeds. May help promote cardiovascular health.
