This is a long list of ingredients and the list contains a lot of fillers with many artificial colorants or flavorings. The ingredients also include shellfish (krill) and soy and therefore is not vegetarian-friendly and should be avoided for those individuals who cannot eat soy products.
Dosage Instructions
The manufacturer suggests taking one softgel daily. No other instructions are listed about when to take the medicine, and whether it should be taken before or after taking food.
Individuals with shellfish allergies, coagulopathy or taking anticoagulants, or medications are advised to consult their doctors before taking this product. Additionally, if pregnant, breastfeeding or individuals taking prescribed medications should all consult their doctors before using this product.
Cost and Guarantee
One 30-count bottle of MegaRed Joint Care can be purchased on the manufacturer’s website for $33.99 but there is currently a saving of 26% available with a discounted price of $24.99. Free shipping is available to all 50 US states and to APO/FPO/DPO addresses abroad for orders over $40. Otherwise, shipping is $5.99 bringing the total for one bottle to $30.98. With 30 softgel capsules in a box, this brings the cost to over $1 per capsule. Fortunately, third-party sites offer more attractive buying options, including 60 count bottles of MegaRed Joint Care; 1 60-count bottle for $35.75 and 1 30-count bottle for $23.76.
MegaRed Joint Care offers no guarantee for its products; refunds are available for unopened products only. If the item was damaged or defective, it can be returned and the manufacturer will refund the shipping fee incurred. With the price point of this product as high it is, we were surprised that the company is not confident enough to stand behind its product with a guarantee that would allow customers to try the product without risk.
Summary of Our Schiff MegaRed Joint Care Review
Customers will appreciate this small easy to swallow tablet filled with Omega 3. Unfortunately, in our review of customer reviews, many complain that they did not experience any results while taking the product, with continuing pain. Other customer reviews state that the supplements were hard to digest and caused a bodily fish odor. Finally, there were a significant number of complaints about the product expiring for those ordering multiple packages.
Most concerning about this product was the excessively long list of ingredients to bind and fill the product including artificial colors and flavors which competing products for joint relief do not seem to include at all. Other leading joint supplements on the market include a proprietary blend of natural and wholesome ingredients to target the root of the problem and the related symptoms which include swelling, stiffness, and pain.
