Antarctic-Krill Oil
Krill oil is a supplement that is rapidly gaining popularity as an alternative to fish oil. It is made from krill, a type of small crustacean consumed by whales, penguins and other sea creatures. Krill oil is also typically considered to be a more sustainable choice than fish oil because krill are so abundant and reproduce quickly. Unlike fish oil, it also contains astaxanthin.
Antarctic Krill oil capsules – 500mg:
Antarctic Krill comes from tiny shrimp-like creatures living in very cold ocean waters. Antarctic Krill contains two types of omega-3 fatty acids: 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 maintaining normal blood pressure (with a daily intake of 3g of EPA and DHA).*
DHA contributes to maintaining normal blood triglyceride levels (with a daily intake of 2g of DHA and when taken in combination with EPA).*
DHA contributes to maintaining normal brain function (with a daily intake of 250mg of DHA).
DHA contributes to maintaining 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 causes 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 fish oil capsules, with Antarctic krill oil there is no fishy after-taste!
