More Bioavailability Means Less is More

The highly absorbable phospholipid form of DHA and EPA in krill oil makes them a more efficient source of omega-3s than the triglyceride form in fish oil. In fact, studies show that it takes about 37% less krill oil than fish oil to achieve the same omega-3 blood levels (600 mg Krill Plus = 1000 mg of fish oil).

Phospholipids Importance for Immunity and Cell Health

Humans need phospholipids to support healthy cell function and growth, as well as to promote healthy immune and liver function. Unfortunately, our levels tend to naturally decrease with age, and modern-day diets contain only about a third of the phospholipids they used to 100 years ago. Supplementing with krill oil — which has omega-3s in phospholipid form — can help keep those phospholipid stores stocked.

Humans need sufficient levels of phospholipids to ensure optimal cell function, cell growth, and the generation of new cells. In fact, phospholipids have been shown to help boost brain health and have protective effects against heart disease and liver disease, poor immune function, stress, depression, and more.

48x the Antioxidant Power of Fish Oil

All omega-3s have some antioxidant action, but krill oil contains a naturally-occurring antioxidant called astaxanthin that’s not present in fish oil. Astaxanthin has been linked with promoting heart, liver, joint, eye, and prostate health, as well as supporting recovery from exercise. Thanks to astaxanthin, krill oil has 48 times the antioxidant power of fish oil. You can also credit astaxanthin for krill oil’s vibrant ruby-red color, and the fact that it can be stored at room temperature without risk of oxidation.
