Description:
Sanderson™ Superior Red Krill Oil 500mg is rich in phospholipid bound omega-3s that offer greater bio efficiency and better utilization in the body than other forms. Omega-3 phospholipids from krill do not give any aftertaste, because they are water-soluble and so rapidly digested in the stomach. Krill oil has been shown in research to be an effective means of managing healthy cholesterol levels.
It has also been demonstrated as a superior support for joint comfort. The antioxidant Astaxanthin which gives krill oil its characteristic red colour is known to cross the blood – brain barrier making krill a potent aid in maintaining healthy brain function. SANDERSON™ Superior Red Krill Oil undergoes minimal processing at low temperatures to reduce any risk of oxidation. The clear red colour is a sign of fresh krill oil. Our oil undergoes unique rapid ship-board processing to maintain freshness. The high astaxanthin content also helps protect our krill oil from oxidation.
What is Krill Oil?
Krill oil is made from krill, a small, shrimp-like crustacean that inhabits the cold ocean areas of the world. Despite their small size, krill make up the largest animal biomass on the planet. There are approximately 500 million tons of krill roaming in northern seas alone, and larger populations in the southern ocean. Krill oil, like fish oil, contains omega-3 fats such as eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA). However, in fish oil, these omega-3 fats are found in the triglyceride form. In krill oil, they are found in a double chain phospholipid structure, the same form as the fats in human cell walls.
Krill oil also contains vitamin E, vitamin A, vitamin D and astaxanthin, which is a potent anti-oxidant. The anti-oxidant potency of krill oil is, in terms of ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) values, 48 times more potent than fish oil. The astaxanthin found in krill oil supports resistance against ultraviolet light and UV-induced skin damage.
Benefits:
High Astaxanthin contentThe body can absorb 95-98% of the nutrients in krill oil, while it can only get about 65% with ordinary fish oilSuperior bio-availability owing to
phospholipid-bound Omega 3The omega-3 fatty acids in krill oil are bonded to phospholipids, but in fish oil they are attached to triglyceridesNo fishy after-taste – naturally reflux-free
