Three Times More Powerful Than Fish Oil, MegaRed(TM) Omega-3 Krill Oil Now Available Nationwide
SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Health-conscious consumers who are
tired of taking several large fish oil softgels every day now have a smaller,
more powerful alternative to fish oil supplements in MegaRed(TM) Omega-3 Krill
Oil from Schiff. MegaRed delivers essential omega-3 fatty acids combined with
powerful antioxidants, and is three times better than fish oil for supporting
heart health. One MegaRed softgel per day -- which is about as small as a
coffee bean -- supports overall cardiovascular health, helps maintain healthy
cholesterol levels and promotes joint health and flexibility. MegaRed is now
available nationwide at retailers such as Costco, Walgreens, CVS and Sam's
Club.

"The benefits of MegaRed Omega-3 Krill Oil when compared to fish oil
supplements, include superior nutritional support, strong antioxidant content
and better smell and taste," said Luke Bucci, Ph.D., Schiff vice president of
research. "Individuals also love that they only have to take one, small
softgel per day as opposed to three large, difficult-to-swallow fish oil
softgels that often smell fishy and leave an unpleasant aftertaste."
Bucci notes that consumers are responding well to several distinctive
MegaRed advantages, including MegaRed's:
* High levels of key omega-3 fatty acids: Like fish oil, MegaRed provides
eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA), but MegaRed omega-3s
are linked together in a different form with a double-chain phospholipid
structure that mimics that of the fats in human cell walls. This structure
makes it easy for the body to absorb MegaRed Omega-3 Krill Oil. It also
contains astaxanthin, an extremely potent antioxidant the body uses to
neutralize free radicals that can damage cells and tissues throughout the
body.
* Support of cardiovascular health: A human clinical study of 300mg
NKO(TM) Krill Oil (1 MegaRed softgel) was compared with several studies on
fish oil. NKO Krill Oil was found to be at least three times better than
larger amounts of fish oil. Specifically, 300mg NKO Krill Oil (1 MegaRed
softgel) was better than 3000mg of fish oil (three fish oil softgels) for
supporting a key marker of cardiovascular health.
* Environmental sustainability: One of the Earth's most abundant and
renewable organisms, krill oil is harvested from krill, tiny shrimp-like
crustaceans that inhabit the cold ocean areas of the world, primarily the
Antarctic and North Pacific Oceans. Well below conservative international
catch guidelines, less than 1 percent of the world's 500 million tons of krill
is harvested annually, which helps maintain a healthy, sustainable krill
population. Bucci adds that MegaRed Omega-3 Krill Oil customers appreciate
this, since the environmental impact of over fishing is a growing concern
among those who previously relied on fish oil for omega-3 supplementation.
