Krill Oil by NUTRAorigin
|
|
NutraOrigin Krill Oil delivers pure Antarctic krill oil, providing 150 mg of highly bioavailable EPA and 90 mg of highly bioavailable DHA per daily dose, with no fishy aftertaste. A sustainably harvested product (krill is considered the largest biomass on earth), it is free of major allergens such as wheat, gluten, corn, yeast, soy, and dairy - and contain no artificial colors, sweeteners, or preservatives.*
Like fish oil, krill oil naturally contains the Omega-3s EPA and DHA. What's structurally unique about krill oil, however, is that the EPA and DHA are bound to phospholipids, important structural components of cell membranes. The phospholipids escort the Omega-3s into the cells, resulting in more complete absorption. In fact, a human clinical trial found that DHA from krill oil was absorbed twice as well as DHA from fish oil, meaning you don't have to take as many capsules to get the same effect. (1) Additionally, because krill feed on foods rich in the antioxidant astaxanthin, krill oil contains its own antioxidant preservative system that keeps the oil fresh.*
If you're looking for an excellent way to add Omega-3 fatty acids to your diet, you may have run across krill oil. Or perhaps you're already taking fish oil, and have heard that krill oil provides the same Omega-3s (EPA and DHA), but in a more bioavailable form. Either way, krill oil is a great choice.*
Derived from Antarctic krill - miniature crustaceans that inhabit the pure, cold waters of the Antarctic Ocean - krill oil contains the same Omega-3 fatty acids as fish oil. However, animal and human research has shown that krill oil is more bioavailable than fish oil, meaning you absorb more of what you take.*
