Omega-3
fatty acids are essential nutrients for our health because they assist in basic
cell functioning, cell repair and growth, and other body functions. However,
omega-3 fatty acids cannot be synthesised in the human body and must be
obtained through food or supplements. Well-known omega-3 fatty acid sources
include fish, such as salmon, tuna, herring, sardines and mackerel as well as
plant-based sources such as walnuts, flax and flaxseed oil, canola oil, olive
oil and soybean oil.
What Is Krill
Oil?
Krill oil - a relatively
new, but highly promising discovery in the field of health supplements – is
extracted from a tiny, shrimp-like animal that lives in the ocean and feeds on
microscopic algae. Krill are one of the lowest levels of the marine food chain
but, despite their small size, they serve as a food source for a variety of
Antarctic marine life, including whales, seals and penguins.
What Makes
Krill Oil Unique?
Krill oil is rich in omega-3
fatty acids; and due to the algae in the krill’s diet, it is also a source of
the powerful antioxidant astaxanthin, which may be beneficial in
cardiovascular, immune, inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases.
Krill oil omega-3s are
thought to be assimilated into the body’s cells better than other sources of
omega-3 because they are attached to phospholipids EPA and DHA, which are more
bio-efficient than other marine oils. Phospholipids are the bond found in krill
oil which ensures more efficient delivery of key fatty acids to various parts
of the human body, such as the brain, heart and joints, due to increased
absorption of omega-3 phospholipids in the small intestine.
Phospholipid-bound omega-3
fatty acids are:
• water dispersible, making
them gentler on the stomach;
• more readily absorbed by
the body;
• available as smaller
capsules that are easy to swallow;
• free from reflux because
and other unpleasant digestive issues; and
• better absorbed by the
body.
The Benefits
of NATRX PURE KRILL OIL
The oceans are home to
enormous quantities of krill. The total weight of the world’s krill is greater
than the combined weight of the world’s human population and is the greatest
biomass in the world.
NATRX PURE KRILL OIL is
extracted from Antarctic krill species Euphausia superba by sustainable
Eco-HarvestingTM techniques, making it the most environmentally sustainable
krill oil available. It contains Superba™ Krill, which is sourced from the
pristine waters of the Southern Ocean in Antarctica. Antarctic krill are so low
in the food chain and live in the cleanest waters on earth that they are
virtually free of contaminants. Astaxanthin, an antioxidant inherent to krill
oil, naturally preserves their omega-3 fatty acid content.
Superba™ Krill omega-3s
address many health areas, such as: heart, brain and joint health as well as
healthy inflammation and women’s health. Supplementing with NATRX PURE KRILL
OIL, is generally well-tolerated and safe to use when taken in the prescribed
dosage range.
These supplements will
assist in:
• Helping to keep both the
heart and arteries healthy;
