Super Heart
Schiff MegaRed
Overview
Schiff MegaRed Super Heart brings together three ingredients with clinically recognized benefits for heart health: krill oil (for Omega-3s), CoQ10, and Vitamin D3. The doses for Vitamin D3 and CoQ10 are generally effective, while the krill oil dose provides some Omega-3s, but the overall EPA+DHA content is on the lower end for significant therapeutic benefit.
The Good
Multi-ingredient approach for comprehensive heart health support.
Krill oil offers highly bioavailable Omega-3 fatty acids in phospholipid form, potentially reducing fishy aftertaste.
Vitamin D3 supports healthy blood pressure and provides 100% DV.
The Bad
Total Omega-3 fatty acid content (66 mg EPA+DHA blend) from 300 mg krill oil is relatively low for significant therapeutic effects on triglycerides or cardiovascular event reduction.
Individuals with shellfish allergies cannot take this product.
Potential interactions with blood thinners require medical consultation.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking cardiovascular support, those looking for omega-3s without large fish oil pills
Skip If: You have a shellfish allergy, are on blood thinners, or are pregnant/nursing without consulting a doctor
