At Megared, our passion is helping people lead healthier lives through the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids. For over a decade, we have been committed to sourcing and producing the highest quality krill oil supplements to promote heart, brain, joint, and eye health.

The Discovery of Krill Oil

The story of Megared starts with the discovery of the many benefits of krill oil. Krill are tiny, shrimp-like crustaceans that thrive in the pristine waters of the Antarctic ocean. These small creatures are a vital part of the marine ecosystem, serving as a key food source for whales, seabirds, and fish.

In the 1990s, scientists made a remarkable discovery – these tiny krill contained high levels of omega-3 fatty acids like EPA and DHA in a natural phospholipid form. This unique structure allowed for superior absorption compared to traditional fish oil supplements. Researchers also found that the natural astaxanthin in krill provided added antioxidant protection.

These discoveries led to massive growth in the krill oil industry as a sustainable and effective source of omega-3s. As pioneers in krill research and sustainability, our founders saw the opportunity to share the benefits of krill oil with the world.

Our Founding Principles

Megared was founded in 2007 with the goal of providing the highest quality krill oil supplements on the market. Our focus has always been on three core principles:

Product Quality

From the beginning, we have been uncompromising when it comes to the superiority of our products. We source our krill from pristine Antarctic waters and use state-of-the-art extraction methods to ensure maximum purity, potency, and freshness.

Our krill oil maintains its natural phospholipid structure for optimal absorption. It is tested for heavy metals, pesticides, and other contaminants to guarantee safety and efficacy. We were one of the first krill oil manufacturers to achieve strict quality certifications such as GOED and NSF.

Scientific Research

In addition to internal quality testing, Megared proudly sponsors clinical research on the health benefits of our krill oil at major universities. Our products are backed by numerous peer-reviewed studies validating krill oil’s effectiveness for heart, brain, eye, and joint health.

We never overstate claims or make unfounded recommendations. Our dedication to rigorous science and clinical evidence ensures our customers receive powerful, proven supplements.

Sustainability

From the beginning, Megared has been committed to maintaining the sustainability of Antarctic krill populations. We only source from MSC certified fisheries with strict catch limits and are advocates for protecting krill habitat.

Our production process recycles water, reduces emissions, and minimizes waste. We are dedicated to making our supplements as eco-friendly as possible while upholding uncompromising quality.

The Megared Difference

With many krill oil brands now on the market, what makes Megared stand apart? Here are some of the key factors that make our products superior:

Antarctic Origin

Our krill oil comes from pristine Antarctic waters, home to the richest, most sustainable krill populations on Earth. Antarctic krill have a natural deep red color and superior omega-3 levels compared to krill from other regions.

Traceability

We can trace our krill from sea to supplement, with full transparency on fishing zones and methods. This ensures complete quality control and sustainability.

Superior Absorption

Our proprietary extraction process preserves the unique phospholipid structure of krill oil for superior absorption compared to fish oil and other krill oils. This allows all the benefits to be efficiently delivered to your body’s cells.

Purity

Every batch of our oil goes through a state-of-the-art multi-stage purification process to remove potential contaminants like heavy metals, PCBs, and dioxins. This delivers a pure, safe product.

No Fishy Aftertaste

Thanks to molecular distillation, our oil has no fishy aftertaste or repeat. Only the pure essence of fresh Antarctic krill.

Natural Astaxanthin

Our krill oil contains the natural antioxidant astaxanthin, which provides added protection against oxidative damage and enhances the stability and potency.

With our dedication to product excellence and scientific rigor, Megared continues to set the standard for quality in the krill oil industry.

Krill Oil vs. Fish Oil

With all the omega-3 choices on the market, why choose krill oil over popular fish oil supplements? Here are some key advantages:

• Krill oil contains EPA and DHA bound to phospholipids, which results in superior absorption compared to fish oil triglycerides. More omega-3s reach your cells where they are needed most.
• Clinical studies show that krill oil can lower triglycerides and raise good HDL cholesterol at lower doses than fish oil.
• The natural astaxanthin in krill oil adds antioxidant protection against oxidation and rancidity. Krill oil has greater stability than fish oil.
• Krill oil has a much lower impact on fish stocks and provides a renewable, sustainable source of omega-3s.
• Krill oil has been found to have anti-inflammatory properties that fish oil lacks. This can help relieve joint pain and other inflammatory conditions.
• Many users report that krill oil provides effective results with no fishy aftertaste or repeat. It’s the pure essence of fresh Antarctic krill.

With its superior absorption, sustainability, and purity, krill oil delivers all the benefits of omega-3s in ways fish oil simply can’t match.

Sustainability Commitment

In keeping with our core values, Megared is deeply committed to maintaining the sustainability of Antarctic krill. We adhere to strict catch limits and source our krill from MSC certified fisheries. As advocates for ocean stewardship, we are proud to be a friend of the Antarctic ecosystem.

Reliable, Renewable Resource

Antarctic krill is perhaps the most abundant and renewable biomass on Earth. Current estimates place the Southern Ocean krill biomass at a staggering 379 million metric tons. With appropriate monitoring and regulation, Antarctic krill can be harvested indefinitely at minimal environmental impact.

Strict Catch Limits

All vessels harvesting krill must adhere to conservative precautionary catch limits set by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR). No more than 620,000 metric tons of krill can be caught per year, representing less than 2% of estimated krill biomass.

Eco-Friendly Fishing

Krill fishing uses eco-friendly midwater trawl nets designed to minimize bycatch of other species. Krill catches represent less than 1% of all animals caught in Antarctic waters. When harvested sustainably, krill fishing has a lower carbon footprint than agricultural crops.

MSC Certified Sustainability

All our krill oil is sourced from Marine Stewardship Council certified fisheries who must adhere to science-based sustainability practices. MSC certification guarantees chain of custody traceability and responsible harvesting.

Protecting Krill Habitat

We actively support efforts to monitor krill populations and fishing impacts as well as establish marine protected areas to conserve krill breeding and feeding grounds.

At Megared, environmental stewardship is a top priority. We are fully committed to protecting the unique Antarctic ecosystem, ensuring krill supplies and ocean health for generations to come.
