Krill oil for heart health

Small and useful, the krill. It resembles a shrimp, is part of plankton and is concentrated mainly in the colder seas: it is good for our health, especially our heart.

The well-being of the cardiovascular system is essential for us: we know that a sedentary lifestyle, hypertension, smoking, a diet rich in fat, high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood threaten the efficiency of the heart. And this is where the little krill comes in: studies confirm that the oil obtained from it helps keep the arteries and therefore the entire cardiovascular system healthy.

We have long known that Omega-3 fatty acids are precious allies of our health: to go into a little more detail, the Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) - mainly present in fish and in crustaceans - contribute to normal heart function and can help counteract the thickening of blood vessels.

An aid to enrich a diet that is already healthy and balanced with these elements - this is the basis from which to start - is given by food supplements. MegaRed capsules have arrived from the United States in pharmacies and Italian supermarkets: based on pure krill oil, MegaRed is a natural source of Omega-3 fatty acids, and, importantly, these Omega-3s are easily absorbed by the body. human. Attention, however: in case of shellfish allergy, if you are pregnant or are planning to become pregnant, while breastfeeding or if you are taking medications, you must consult your doctor before using MegaRed.
