NOW Foods Red Omega Fish Oil 90 Softgels

NOW® Red Omega is a cardiovascular-support blend that unites three traditional heart-health ingredients: organic red yeast rice, CoQ10 and omega-3 fish oil.* Red yeast rice is the natural product of fermenting rice with red yeast (Monascus purpureus), long used in Asian cuisine and by traditional herbalists, and NOW's is carefully produced to avoid citrinin, an unwanted fermentation by-product. It is further enhanced with CoQ10 and EPA/DHA fish oil to support healthy cardiovascular function.* This oil is manufactured under strict quality-control standards and tested to be free of potentially harmful levels of contaminants such as PCBs, dioxins, mercury and other heavy metals. Please review the important cautions before use.

Who it's for

Red Omega is aimed at adults focused on cardiovascular wellness who are interested in the traditional combination of red yeast rice, CoQ10 and omega-3s in one formula.* Because red yeast rice interacts with cholesterol medications and is not appropriate during pregnancy, it is strictly for adults who are not pregnant or nursing and who use it with their doctor's awareness — particularly anyone taking or considering a statin.* It suits people who want a botanical, multi-ingredient approach to heart health.*
