Antarctic Krill Oil

Antarctic Krill oil capsules – 500mg: Krill oil comes from krill – tiny shrimp-like creatures that live in very cold ocean waters. Krill oil contains two types of omega-3 fatty acid: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart (with a daily intake of 250mg). DHA and EPA contribute to the maintenance of normal blood pressure (with a daily intake of 3g of EPA and DHA).* DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal blood triglyceride levels (with a daily intake of 2g of DHA and when taken in combination with EPA).* DHA contributes to maintenance of normal brain function (with a daily intake of 250mg of DHA). DHA contributes to maintenance of normal vision (with a daily intake of 250mg of DHA). *Users should not exceed a supplemental daily intake of 5g of EPA and DHA combined. Krill oil also contains astaxanthin, as well as phospholipids. Astaxanthin is a pigment that belongs to a group of chemicals called carotenoids. It occurs naturally in certain algae and causes the pink/red colour of krill. Phospholipids are a type of large group of organic compounds called ?lipids? (naturally-occurring molecules). Phospholipids are a major component of all cell membranes. Unlike some fish oil capsules, with Antarctic krill oil there is no fishy after-taste!
