Product Description
Overview
Better, faster and more powerful than fish oil, just one MegaRed Softgel equals three fish oil softgels for supporting cardiovascular health. Maintain healthy cholesterol levels already within the normal range. Promote joint health and flexibility. MegaRed omega-3s are several times stronger than larger amounts of fish oil omega-3s and may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. MegaRed from Schiff contains NKO Krill Oil, which uniquely combines both omega-3s - fatty acids vital to life at every stage - with critical antioxidants, your body's optimal way to neutralize free radicals. Sourced from genuine Antarctic Krill (tiny crustaceans that thrive in the frigid waters of the Antarctic), NKO Krill Oil offers a combination of omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids and critical antioxidants which support heart and joint health better than fish oil.

Customer Reviews
Chalk up one anecdotal success story.
I am a physician. I was on lipitor for about 4 years until I found out it was giving me rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown). The manufacturers of statins state that this is a rare side effect and I even counselled my patients that this is about a 1/200 incidence. Well after delving into the research a bit more it turns out that pretty much everyone taking statins has some degree of muscle pathology on biopsy, with the majority being subclinical...but not insignificant. Being a work-out nut this could not be tolerated.
I stopped the Lipitor and went on a low fat diet (20% fat) with Mega Red. To be fair I am also taking a proprietary 3-6-9 omega oil blend as well (Udo's Blend) although it is not clear that this affects cholesterol levels and makes no claims to. I have been on the Mega Red for about 2 months and the low fat diet for about 2 weeks and got my levels rechecked. Total cholesterol went from 240 (pre-lipitor) to 179. LDL from 160 to 119 and HDL from 35 to 40. All as good or better than I got on 20 mg of Lipitor.
Now I no longer have to worry about muscle breakdown and my LFT's are normal for the first time in 4 years. As an added bonus I can get this locally for about $27 for a 4-month supply (with coupon and buy-1-get-1 deals) which is about 1/4 the cost of Lipitor. Well this is one anecdotal success story so take it for what it's worth. I have put a lot of energy into exercizing and going low fat as well so under those circumstances I can say that it seems to work for me andI am very happy with the results.

Product is difficult to find in retail and was easily found through amazon. Was recommended by a doctor to try in the aid of lowering cholestral, and I, a person who cannot tolerate taking fish oil because of the size of the pill, let alone 3-6 a day, find Mega Red Krill sized right and easy, taking only 1 pill daily. Priced right and delivered efficiently.
Works for Me!
These Schiff MegaRed Omega-3 softgels are definately a keeper. Absolutely no aftertaste at all!!! The aftertaste was my biggest problem with other omega-3 fish oil softgels-made me sick in the stomach. The Schiff softgels are tiny, which is great for anyone who has difficulties with large size capsules/softgels. I love these and highly recommend =)
