Redefining Krill Oil and Improving Standardsᵀᴹ
BioRed® is a Scientifically Tested, Ethical brand Krill oil with proven benefits and the highest purity of Phosphatidylcholine, Choline including considerable amounts of bioactive minor components such as Astaxanthin, sterols, tocopherols, vitamin A, flavonoids, and other minerals.
​
BioRed® achieves the highest quality standards setting the benchmark in healthcare for krill oil and is the best krill oil brand chosen among the top ethical centres around Malaysia. We emphasize on the evidence our product carries because it has been shown time and again that products with scientific evidence lead to better results while others may not.
​
BioRed®’s proprietary technology makes it more effective in the areas of bioavailability, lipid transportation, anti-inflammation and anti-oxidation effects.
The Best form of Krill oil
BioRed® is high in Phosphatidylcholine (which binds > 70% of EPA and DHA) including Choline and Astaxanthin, this form of Omega-3 is far more stable and is much better absorbed in the body.
​
Only krill oil that is “specifically rich in Phosphatidylcholine-Omega-3” is associated with the health benefits seen in krill oil.

BioRed® for Heart Health
Phosphatidylcholine plays a critical role ensuring the proper balance of cholesterol and is an integral component of HDL known as “good cholesterol”.1
​
The lipid modifying effects and antioxidants found in krill oil are known to be Cardioprotective in CVD disease patients.

Why packaging is important
Krill oil is highly sensitive to heat and moisture and it can absorb moisture from its environment due to the rich phospholipids content, which can cause it to breakdown rapidly.
​
BioRed® capsules use special gelatine shells which are better at controlling moisture loss, and a well-fitting airtight closure, that prevents environmental humidity from penetrating through any gaps between the containers closure.
The two primary concerns with absorption of excessive water are:
-
Increased rate of hydrolysis of the phospholipids in the krill oil resulting in reduced potency and stability.
-
Increased risk of physical defects in the capsule, particularly leading to leaking problems. When excessive water is absorbed by the oil, this can lead to increased volume and pressure inside the capsule causing leakage. Additionally, high temperatures will also cause the capsule texture to become sticky.
Stability Requirements
Industry standard containers must have good moisture barrier properties, (PVC blister film material is not recommended for krill oil due to its extremely high moisture vapour transfer rate), tinted or opaque colour is important to prevent excessive light from entering the container, and also a well-fitting, airtight closure, preventing environmental humidity from penetrating through any gap between the containers closure.

BioRed® Q & A
-
How effective will the product be on me?Results may differ among individuals. One reason for the difference in outcomes might be due to the baseline level of blood lipids. Generally, the more abnormal baseline levels of blood lipids compared to healthy baseline levels the more significant effects could be expected for the various lipid- lowering treatments.
-
What is the safe recommended dose of BioRed® softgel capsules?For adults take 1 softgel twice daily before or after meals or as instructed by your doctor or pharmacist. Do not take more than 4g per day.
-
Can high doses of Omega-3 cause bleeding problems?Consult with your doctor before taking BioRed® if you have underlying conditions. It is advisable to follow the recommended guidelines for safe recommended doses. It has been reported that long term supplementation intakes of EPA and DHA combined up to about 5g/day does not increase the risk of bleeding even in subjects at high risk of bleeding (e.g. taking acetylsalicylic acid or anti coagulants). (EFSA Journal 2012;10(7):2815)
-
Can high doses of Omega-3 cause arrhythmias?It is always advisable to consult your doctor or pharmacist regarding medical conditions. Current evidences by the NIH suggests that doses of Omega-3 up to 1g/day is safe and does not support a clinical detectable pro-arrhythmatic effect. Choline an essential nutrient has shown potential in preventing arrhythmias.
-
Is BioRed® safe for children?BioRed® softgel capsules have not been specifically developed for children and they may be difficult to swallow. Consult with your child’s physician before taking BioRed® softgel capsules.
-
What are the side effects of BioRed®?BioRed® softgel capsules are well tolerated and easily absorbed and easy to swallow. It has a long safety and tolerability record of safe consumption. Do not take more than 4g per day.
