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.

- In order for Omega-3s to be put to good use, they must first be absorbed by your body.
Traditional fish oil floats on top of your stomach, giving that unpleasant fishy aftertaste.
- Supportive, but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
- Eco-Friendly. Krill is one of earth’s most abundant and sustainable organisms. The harvest of krill is well below conservative international catch guidelines.
- This product comes from a fishery that has been independently certified to the MSC’s standard for a well-managed and sustainable fishery. www.msc.org

- Just one small pill with no fishy aftertaste, that’s why MegaRed Omega-3 Krill Oil is the superior choice.
