SUGGESTED USAGE: As a dietary supplement, take 2-4 softgels per day, or as directed by a health care professional. BENEFITS: Krill Oil is known for its unique fatty acid (FA) profile, as well as for its rich antioxidant content. Krill Oil's balanced fatty acid content includes not only EPA and DHA, the crucial omega-3 FAs, but omega-9 FAs and phospholipids, as well. Krill Oil is rich source of Astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant.* Clinical studies have shown that Neptune Krill Oil (NKO®) can support joint comfort, healthy blood lipid levels, and may reduce symptoms of pre-menstrual syndrome.* In addition, preliminary clinical research suggests that Astaxanthin may help to safeguard skin structure during sun exposure.* |

Several recognized scientific studies have demonstrated that Omega-3 FAs are important in numerous signaling pathways. Most notably, EPA is a precursor of certain prostaglandins and leukotrienes, molecules that are involved in mediating healthy inflammatory responses and lung function and are critical for the maintenance of cardiovascular health, immune system function, and joint comfort.* Because Omega-3 FAs have been shown to be important in cell information processing in the brain.* This particular function of DHA is especially significant with respect to its role in the maintenance of a positive mental state and balanced mood.* Krill Oil has a unique biomolecular profile of phospholipids naturally rich in omega-3 fatty acids and diverse antioxidants significantly different from the usual profile of fish oils. The association between phospholipids and long-chain omega-3 fatty acids highly facilitates the passage of fatty acid molecules through the intestinal wall, increasing bioavailability and ultimately improving the omega-3:omega-6 fatty acid ratio.* Krill Oil is also a rich source os Astaxanthin, a carotenoid pigment also found in salmon, trout, shrimp, crayfish, and other crustaceans. Non-clinical research indicates that due to Astaxanthin's potent antioxidant activity, it may be beneficial in cardiovascular and immune function.* Neptune Krill Oil is manufactured under strict quality control standards. It is tested to be free of potentially harmful levels of contaminants (i.e. mercury, heavy metals, PCB's, dioxins, and other contaminants).
