Krill is a tiny crustacean that is best known as an important source of the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These fatty acids contribute to a healthy heart, mind and body. They play many roles in the body, including
Krill oil also contains phospholipids. Phospholipids, such as phosphatidylcholine, are an important component of all of our cell membranes, and are especially important for brain cells and cellular communication. When bound to omega-3 fatty acids as in krill oil, phospholipids are responsible for transporting fatty acids into cells and greatly increase the potency and bioavailability of EPA and DHA. This allows us to take less krill oil to get the same benefit as more fish oil.
Antarctic krill, like that found in Organika's krill oil, is also rich in astaxanthin, a natural antioxidant. The deep red color of each capsule is due to this astaxanthin content. Known for its ability to suppress free radicals, astaxanthin helps keep the oil fresh and protects the omega-3 fatty acids from oxidation and rancidity. This means no additives are needed to maintain the long-term stability of the oil.
Superba™ Krill Oil, found in this Organika product, is not your usual source of omega-3. Superba™ Krill is different from its competitors because it comes from the clean, low-toxicity environment of the Antarctic Ocean in a sustainable and traceable manner. We use proprietary fishing technology to eliminate bycatch, limit environmental impact and maintain the nutritional integrity of the krill. At the end of the day, you can be sure you're doing something good for your health and your conscience.
