MegaRed® Omega-3 Krill Oil contains omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA. Research has shown that DHA and EPA may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.† Unlike fish oil, the omega-3 fatty acids in MegaRed® Omega-3 Krill Oil are mainly absorbed and carried to the body’s cells in phospholipid form. Phospholipids are very important for cellular functioning because they form the structural basis of cell membranes. MegaRed® phospholipids closely resemble the phospholipids of human cells, therefore MegaRed® phospholipids with omega-3 fatty acids are easily recognized, incorporated and utilized by the body. Fish oil omega-3 fatty acids are carried by triglycerides and have less efficient cell uptake. With MegaRed® Omega-3 Krill Oil, you only need to take one small, easy-to-swallow softgel per day.
