MegaRed Extra Strength 500-Milligram Omega-3 Krill Oil provides an optimal combination of omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids and the powerful antioxidant astaxanthin to support heart health.* Supports Cardiovascular Health with Omega-3 Fatty Acids* MegaRed contains oil from 100 percent pure Antarctic krill, tiny crustaceans that thrive in the pristine waters of the Antarctic Ocean. 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.† 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. No Fishy Odor or Aftertaste Because the omega-3 fatty acids in MegaRed krill oil are carried to the body's cells in phospholipid form, they are easily recognized, incorporated and utilized by your body. MegaRed Krill Oil mixes well in the stomach for efficient digestion. Importantly, because MegaRed omega-3's are carried in phospholipid form, there is no fishy aftertaste. Small Softgel Is Easy to Swallow One softgel per day is all you need, and each MegaRed pill is small and easy to swallow. Sustainable Krill from Environmentally Responsible Sources In an effort to promote sustainable practices, MegaRed krill oil is sourced from the Antarctic Ocean where krill are abundant. The krill are harvested well below international catch guidelines from sources that use eco-harvesting, ensuring that only krill are harvested and not other marine animals. MegaRed's source for krill oil has been certified by an independent nonprofit organization that sets voluntary standards for well-managed and sustainable operation of fisheries. Warning: Contains shellfish (krill). **Controlled human clinical study of 300 mg MegaRed for improving omega-3 index, Aker BioMarine, 2010. †Supportive, but not conclusive, research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
