NOW Foods Red Omega™
Description
NOW Red Omega combines fermented red yeast rice with fish oil and CoQ10 in a single softgel, made for adults who want cardiovascular support from three complementary nutritional oils in one product. It is produced with process controls designed to keep citrinin, a fermentation byproduct, out of the finished product.
Each 2 softgel serving supplies 2,000 mg of fish oil concentrate delivering 360 mg EPA and 240 mg DHA, along with 600 mg of organic red yeast rice and 60 mg of CoQ10. A serving also provides 20 calories and 2 g of total fat.
People take Red Omega daily with food as part of a heart healthy routine. NOW Foods manufactures it in a GMP certified facility; it is dairy free, egg free, and gluten free, and it carries Halal and Kosher (Triangle K) certification.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take Red Omega if I am on a statin medication?
Talk to your physician first. NOW's label advises consulting a doctor before use if you take statins or have liver disease, since red yeast rice contains naturally occurring compounds similar to those in some cholesterol medications.
Should I take it with food?
Yes, the suggested use is 2 softgels daily with food.
Does this product contain fish or soy?
Yes. The fish oil is sourced from sardines, anchovies, and mackerel, and the softgel contains soy; anyone with those allergies should avoid this product.
How is Red Omega different from a plain fish oil softgel?
In addition to EPA and DHA fish oil, it includes organic red yeast rice and CoQ10 in the same softgel, which a standard fish oil product does not.
Is this safe during pregnancy?
No. NOW's label states this product is not intended for pregnant or nursing women.
