Krill Oil 90 softgels Yamamoto

Krill is the generic term for small shrimp found in the cold waters of the Antarctic. They are composed primarily of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, such as EPA and DHA, whose beneficial and pluripotent properties have already been demonstrated. Krill constitutes the largest biomass on the planet and is considered one of the most sustainable practices in the world. Krill oil is composed primarily of polyunsaturated fatty acids, EPA and DHA. What distinguishes krill oil from fish oils is its high content of antioxidants (the main antioxidant is astaxanthin) and phospholipids. These compounds make the oil more stable, preserve the integrity of the fragile fatty acids, and improve their bioavailability. Phospholipids ensure the transport of fatty acids to cell membranes and play a vital role in protecting brain neurons. Krill is of Antarctic origin and, being at the base of the food chain, feeds on phytoplankton and remains completely immune to metal and mercury contamination. Its unique properties, characterized by a very high content of highly bioavailable omega-3 fatty acids, allow its use for various health benefits. According to numerous studies, krill oil reduces chronic inflammation, particularly of the heart and vascular system, with significant recognition by the EFSA as a protective substance against the risk of cardiovascular disease. It counteracts hypertriglyceridemia and assists in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia. It has a significant impact on chronic joint inflammation, particularly the symptoms of arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Most pregnant and breastfeeding women are severely deficient in this fatty acid, which is essential for the growth of the child, reducing the risk of premature birth and promoting the full development of the neurocerebral and immune systems.
