Omega Krill Oil

Description

Antarctic krill oil capsules – 500mg

Krill oil comes from krill – tiny shrimp-like creatures that live in very cold ocean waters. It contains two types of omega 3 fatty acid: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart (with a daily intake of 250mg).
DHA and EPA contribute to the maintenance of normal blood pressure (with a daily intake of 3g of EPA and DHA).*
DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal blood triglyceride levels (with a daily intake of 2g of DHA and when taken in combination with EPA).*
DHA contributes to maintenance of normal brain function (with a daily intake of 250mg of DHA).
DHA contributes to maintenance of normal vision (with a daily intake of 250mg of DHA).

*Users should not exceed a supplemental daily intake of 5g of EPA and DHA combined.

Krill oil also contains astaxanthin, as well as phospholipids.

Astaxanthin is a pigment that belongs to a group of chemicals called carotenoids. It occurs naturally in certain algae and is responsible for the pink/red colour of krill.

Phospholipids are a type of large group of organic compounds called “lipids” (naturally-occurring molecules). Phospholipids are a major component of all cell membranes.

Unlike some other fish oil capsules, with Antarctic krill oil there is no fishy aftertaste.

The Antarctic krill oil used in this supplement is sustainably-sourced from Aker BioMarine in the EU, who work with World Wildlife Foundation Norway to ensure sustainable krill harvesting.
