Nоrdic Krill Oil - 30 caps

Nordic Krill Oil is suitable in cases of:

• Brain fatigue;
• Lack of concentration;
• Poor memory;
• Cardiovascular system. 

Krill is a term which is used to describe the deepwater plankton crustaceans. They look like miniature shrimps (1 cm - 6 cm). There are 85 different types and are actually the most abundant animal biomass on the planet. They are met on large clusters up to several square kilometres.

Neptune OceanExtract™ process guarantees a cold method of extraction: bioactive properties of the extracted components are stored, there is no possibility of microbial contamination, no heavy metals, polychlorinated biphenols, dioxins and pesticides, no preservatives (stability is guaranteed by the outstanding natural antioxidant potential of Nordic Krill Oil).

Biochemistry

Krill oil is contained 40% phosphatidylcholine, 30% omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA and DHA, astaxanthin, vitamin A, vitamin E, other fatty acids and new marine flavonoids. In the structure of the main content of Krill oil are cholinе, glycerophosphate, DHA and EPA, esterified with astaxanthin, and the newest marine flavonoid.

Cholinе

Cholinе which is a structural component of phospholipids is a water-soluble nutrient which participates in lipid and homocysteine metabolism. Choline favours the normal function of the liver and is a precursor to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. This neurotransmitter participates in both the peripheral nervous system and central nervous system as neurotransmitters and neuromodulators. 

The positive effect of Nordic Krill Oil on brain activity has been proven to be due to standardized choline (1 g of krill oil containing 73 mg of choline) as well as high levels of DHA and EPA.

Astaxanthin

Astaxanthin is a red carotenoid which colours krill oil, salmon and flamingo. Astaxanthin is known for its high oxidant level. Nordic Krill Oil naturally contains 7 times more astaxanthin than the other krill oil products on the market. The preservation of astaxanthin is due to the unique patented process of cold production. High levels of astaxanthin prevent the oil from oxidation. 

Phospholipids and bioavailability

Nordic Krill Oil differs from fish oil and other sources of omega-3 because omega-3 fatty acids are bound to phospholipids, while omega-3 in fish oil is bound to triglycerides or ethyl esters. Phospholipids are components of every single cell in our body. Phospholipids in Nordic Krill Oil contribute to better absorption of EPA and DHA.

The relationship between phospholipids and long-chained omega-3 fatty acids significantly improves molecule diffusion across the intestinal wall, increases the bioavailability and significantly improves the omega-3: omega-6 fatty acid ratio. 

Nordic Krill Oil-specific properties 

1. Nordic Krill Oil is obtained through a patented process called Neptune OceanExtract™.

Nordic Krill Oil process guarantees a cold method of extraction: bioactive properties of the extracted components are stored, there is no possibility of microbial contamination, no heavy metals, polychlorinated biphenols, dioxins and pesticides, and no preservatives (stability is guaranteed by the outstanding natural antioxidant potential of Nordic Krill Oil).

2. Nordic Krill Oil - a naturally powerful antioxidant 

Naturally, Nordic Krill Oil contains vitamin A, vitamin E, аstaxanthin and marine flavonoid (the only discovered animal source of flavonoids) 

3. Nordic Krill Oil is a source of phospholipids and choline

> Phospholipids are the building elements of the cell membrane.

 > Choline is a precursor to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (1 g of krill oil contains 73 mg of choline).

4. Nordic Krill Oil goes through safety tests 

> A six-month Nordic Krill Oil intake with 11 times higher doses doesn’t cause unpleasant effects on laboratory animals. It is detected by microscopic observation of various tissues (brain, lung, heart, stomach, pancreas, liver, kidneys, uterus, prostate, intestines and skin). 

> Physical, biochemical and haematological tests have shown that NKO ™ doesn’t cause any unpleasant effects in healthy volunteers (25 people) who have consumed 6 grams of krill oil per day (3 daily doses, 2 g each).

5. Faster and better absorption of omega-3 fatty acids 

> Omega-3 fatty acids such as phospholipids (as in krill oil) are absorbed not completely digested by the gastrointestinal tract unlike omega-3 fatty acids such as triglycerides (as in fish oil), which have to be digested firstly. 

→ Krill oil is useful for patients with mucoviscidosis (poor digestion of fats)

> Omega-3 fatty acids such as phospholipids (as in krill oil) are well-soluble in the intestinal lumen than omega-3 fatty acids such as triglycerides; triglycerides need bile juice to break down properly.

→ Krill oil is beneficial for patients with weakening gallbladder function and for those who have had gallbladder removal.

Description: human subject research, visual, randomized, double-blind.

Dosage: standardize EPA and DHA up to 120 mg daily. 

Results: Nordic Krill Oil shows a better increase in the omega-3 index and ensures higher bioavailability of EPA and DHA compared to other sources of omega-3.  

* Omega-3 index: a new risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. It shows EPA and DHA amounts in red blood cells according to the total amount of os fatty acids. As much as close to the value of 8, the risk of heart disease. 

6. Nordic Krill Oil Dosage

A maintenance dose of 500 mg Nordic Krill Oil per day. The therapeutic doses are 1-2 g per day.

> Reduces the inflammatory markers (CRP) in rheumatoid arthritis: 1 g Nordic Krill Oil daily.

> Joint health: 1 g Nordic Krill Oil daily

> Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): 500 mg - 1 g Nordic Krill Oil daily

> Cholesterol and triglyceride control: 2 g Nordic Krill Oil daily during the first month, 1 - 1,5 g Nordic Krill Oil daily after the first month

> Premenstrual syndrome (PMS): 2 g Nordic Krill Oil daily during the first month, after the first month - 2 g Nordic Krill Oil daily 8 days before menstruation and 2 days after menstruation 

> Daily maintenance dose: 500 mg Nordic Krill Oil daily.

Contraindications 

For people who have an allergy to seafood and taking anticoagulants, it is recommended to consult their personal doctor before start using the product. Nordic Krill Oil is a nutritional supplement.  Keep in a cool dry place out of the reach of children. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Do not use it as a substitute for a varied diet.
