The ingredients in MegaRed Krill Oil 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.
