Krill Oil

Krill oil, a product obtained by processing small crustaceans (Euphausia superba) that live in Antarctic waters, is rich in omega-3 PUFAs, antioxidants and phospholipids, which play an important role in the absorption of PUFAs.

A high quality krill oil supplement is superior to fish oil in terms of effectiveness, sustainability and cost.

Krill oil is highly effective, surpassing vitamins A and E in antioxidant activity by 300 times, and is also better absorbed.

Krill oil is less susceptible to oxidation due to the astaxanthin it contains, which provides greater stability to the product. Fish oil that does not contain astaxanthin is prone to oxidation.

Krill oil contains phosphatidylcholine, which is needed for better absorption of omega-3 PUFAs, which also ensures higher bioavailability of omega-3 PUFAs from krill oil compared to fish oil.

Omega-3 PUFAs cannot be transported in the blood in free form; this requires phospholipids, which are rich in krill oil, which increases the availability of omega-3 PUFAs for the body. There are no phospholipids in fish oil.

Beneficial properties of krill oil:

• The coloring pigment astaxanthin, which is contained in krill oil, is a powerful antioxidant, which means it slows down the aging process, protects against negative environmental factors at the cellular level, improves cell regeneration, strengthens the immune system and overall health.
• Astaxanthin also has an anti-inflammatory effect, so this supplement is recommended to be taken in complex therapy in the treatment of arthritis and arthrosis, as well as for the prevention of many inflammatory diseases of internal organs.
• Fatty acids have positive effects on the body. By helping to regulate the level of glucose and cholesterol in the blood, they qualitatively improve the functioning and prevent diseases of the endocrine, nervous and cardiovascular systems.
• Omega-3 in the form of phospholipids, which krill oil is rich in, affects the production of sex hormones, therefore it is useful for the female body during: PMS, painful menstruation, menopause.
• Docosahexaenoic acid, one of the omega-3s in this dietary supplement, affects brain cells, strengthening their membrane. This not only improves memory and alertness, but also prevents Alzheimer's disease.
• Regular use of the supplement in moderate quantities improves skin condition, strengthens nails and makes hair shiny.
