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. Importantly, because Megared omega-3"s 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. The omega-3 index is a measure of the amount of omega-3 fatty acids in your body"s cells. A higher omega-3 index is associated with better cardiovascular health and other health benefits. Supportive, but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Phospholipids form the structural basis of cell membranes, so Megared phospholipids with omega-3 fatty acids are easily recognized, incorporated and utilized by the body.
