Krill looks similar to shrimp and lives in cold water oceans like Antarctica where they provide food for whales and seals. Krill oil contains powerful antioxidants, including Astaxanthin, as well as Omega-3 fatty acids that help to combat the signs of aging and support heart, brain, joint and skin health. Astaxanthin is capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier in mammals, a unique and important property for an antioxidant. This characteristic allows astaxanthin to extend its superior antioxidant activity to the central nervous system, which is highly susceptible to damage by free radicals. What makes Krill oil unique as a supplement is that it is digested in the small intestines, not the stomach. This greatly enhances deliverability and makes it a potent source of antioxidants and Omega 3 fatty acids.
Supreme Antarctic Krill Oil is derived from Antarctic krill, tiny crustaceans that are highly abundant in the glacial waters of the Antarctic. The Omega-3 fatty acids Eicosapentaenoic Acid and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA and EPA) found in krill oil are provided in phospholipid form and studies suggest that this gives krill oil a significantly higher bioavailability than fish oil. Essentially, the body is able to utilize the health benefits of Omega-3 oils more quickly and efficiently. Since phospholipids are soluble in water, this allows krill oil to more easily disperse and as a result, eliminates the fishy burp taste that is oftentimes associated with fish oil products. This amazing product may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease and supply the body with nutrients that can help optimize healthy functioning.
