Description:Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid, a class of pigments found in a variety of plants and microorganisms. It is known for its strong antioxidant properties and for giving certain seafood and other organisms their pink or red color. Astaxanthin is commonly used as a dietary supplement and can be found in the form of capsules, tablets, and soft gels. It is promoted for its potential health benefits, including reducing the risk of heart disease, improving skin health, and reducing inflammation. Astaxanthin is a common component in dietary supplements for the eye, marketed to reduce the effects of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Krill Oil
Krill oil is a dietary supplement derived from tiny, shrimp-like crustaceans called krill. It is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, primarily EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which are essential for heart and brain health. Krill oil is also known for containing phospholipids, enhancing its absorption compared to other omega-3 sources like fish oil. Some research suggests potential benefits for cardiovascular health, inflammation reduction, and joint health.

- Unlike fish oil, the omega-3 fatty acids in MegaRed Omega-3 Krill Oil are mainly absorbed and carried to your body’s cells in phospholipid form. Phospholipids form the structural basis of cell membranes, so MegaRed phospholipids with omega-3 fatty acids are easily recognized, incorporated and utilized by your body. Importantly, because MegaRed omega-3s are carried in phospholipid form, there is no fishy aftertaste. MegaRed has been shown to significantly increase your Omega-3 Index in just 30 days.
