Superba Krill Plus with Omega 3s, 60 Count

Krill Oil's Vital Lipids Offer a Range of Benefits

Krill oil is sometimes compared to fish oil as an omega-3 dietary supplement, but the authentic krill oil complex contains a greater range of nutrients, and its benefits far exceed those of fish oils. The majority of the DHA and EPA in krill oil are linked into larger phospholipid molecules, which are preformed building blocks for the cell membranes that drive life processes. In fish oil, by contrast, all the DHA and EPA occurs as triglycerides, which are storage forms of fatty acids ("fat"). The DHA and EPA in fish oil has to be removed from the triglycerides and then linked into phospholipids before they can be inserted into cell membranes.

Krill oil gets its red color from astaxanthin, a carotenoid nutrient. Astaxanthin is a potent membrane antioxidant and helps ensure krill oil's exceptional shelf life stability. Fish oils lack astaxanthin and are vulnerable to premature rancidity—oxidative degradation of the fragile DHA and EPA molecules. Krill's phospholipids, DHA, EPA, and astaxanthin can all be readily inserted into cell membranes.

Krill oil has produced impressive benefits in clinical trials, superior when compared against fish oil. In a large proportion of women, premenstrual problems affect life quality by negatively affecting mood and other mental states and by generating pain and other physical problems. In a double-blind trial, krill oil was compared against fish oil for the relief of ten well-recognized premenstrual complaints. Seventy (70) women of childbearing age consumed 2 grams of either a krill oil or a fish oil, daily for the first month. Then, for the next 2 months, they took the assigned supplements for just eight days prior to menstruation and another 2 days subsequent. They filled in detailed questionnaires and kept track of their daily analgesic (painkiller) medication use.

The key benefits of krill oil include:

• High-potency source of omega-3 DHA and EPA
• Supports healthy brain, joint, and other organ functions
• Promotes cardiovascular health
• 100% authentic product from sustainably harvested Antarctic Krill
• Provides omega-3 EPA and DHA linked into phospholipids

Krill oil's unique composition and superior benefits make it a compelling alternative to traditional fish oil supplements.
