The importance of Omega 3 Omega 3 fatty acids play an important role in a healthy diet & have been linked to many health inducing benefits, such as enhanced cardiovascular, skin & joint health, better brain & central nervous system development & enhanced cognitive functioning. Studies have demonstrated the beneficial properties of increased blood levels of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA & DHA. Given the human body’s limited ability to synthesize EPA & DHA the bioavailability of omega-3 is of great importance. Recent studies have suggested that not all omega-3s are equal. There are two primary sources of EPA & DHA: fish oil, which provides triglyceride omega-3s; & krill oil, which provides phospholipid omega-3s. Krill oil is extremely well tolerated, is certified sustainable, & its phospholipid omega-3s are more efficiently utilized by the body.A unique composition Ocean Krill provides an optimum blend of omega-3 fatty acids. Krill oil is rich in phospholipid EPA & DHA, providing clinically proven superior bioefficiency. Phospholipid-bound omega-3 fatty acids are water-dispersible, making them gentler on the stomach & more readily absorbed by the body. & with phospholipid omega-3s, less is more: smaller capsules are easier to swallow & easier to digest (no more fishy burps!). Rich in natural antioxidants Antarctic krill is also rich in the natural antioxidant astaxanthin, the component that gives the capsules their deep red colour. Recognized for the health-promoting suppression of free radicals, astaxanthin protects the omega-3 fatty acids & keeps Ocean Krill fresh. No additives are necessary to ensure the krill oil’s long-term stability.
