Alvitamed Extra Krill Oil 500mg Softgel 60’s

Description: Alvitamed Extra Krill Oil features Superba2™, a premium krill oil sourced from wild-caught Antarctica krill and produced by Aker Biomarine, a biotech company leading the way in high quality, sustainable krill oil production. Krill oil’s benefits come from its health promoting nutrients: omega-3 (EPA & DHA), phospholipids, choline and astaxanthin. Krill oil contains high concentration of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been linked to an extensive list of health benefits. Krill oil’s omega-3 fatty acids are bound to phospholipids which are fats that are essential components of cell membranes. The phospholipids attached krill oil’s omega-3s aid in better transport, delivery, cellular integration and utilization of EPA and DHA in the body compared to fatty acids in triglycerides form in fish oil.

Choline is an essential nutrient for many body functions such as nerve signalling, liver and muscle functioning. Study has shown that the interactions between choline and DHA support roles in brain and eye health, and the findings that supplementation with one augments the other points to synergy between the two nutrients.

Besides enhanced omega-3 absorption, krill oil is touted for its antioxidant content. Unlike fish oil, krill oil gets its red colour from the antioxidant astaxanthin which can support eye health and reduce inflammation. Astaxanthin exhibits exceptional antioxidant activity, scavenging free radicals and protecting cells from damage. Along with boosting the immune system, astaxanthin may also help to reduce inflammation.
