Product Description

Krill Oil DX 1000mg concentrated+Astaxanthin Advanced OMEGA3 DHA/EPA phospholipids Soft Gels

Krill Oil DX is an extract of Antarctic krill, known as Euphausia Superba, a species of Krill found in the Antarctic waters of the Southern Ocean. Following its harvesting and primary processing FULL SUSTAINABLE (which is done on the boat),
These Omega-3 fatty acids (FA) attached to phospholipids or Triglycerides and antioxidants, such as: astaxanthin, vitamin A and vitamin. Krill oil was subject to a battery of clinical and pre-clinical trials, suggesting unique effects on health, while maintaining a good safety profile. These studies have been examining the effect of Krill oil on multiple indications including; chronic inflammation, cognitive function, fatty liver disease, joint health and more. Unlike fish oil, a major portion of omega-3 fatty acids in Krill oil is conjugated (chemically linked) to phospholipids, which seems to have a different and in some case better absorption and utilization than other sources of Omega-3.

Antarctic krill (Euphausia Superba), is a shrimp-like invertebrate (crustacean), that lives in large schools, called swarms which can reach densities of 10,000-30,000 individual krill per cubic meter. Krill, in terms of biomass, is the most abundant animal species on the planet (approximately 500 million tons). All fish stocks are limited and exhaustible and the objectives of any eco-sustainable approach would be to maintain human benefits from fish stocks while preserving the ability of fish stocks to replace themselves and the integrity of ecosystems.

Astaxanthin Explained

Astaxanthin is a powerful, naturally occurring carotenoid pigment that’s found in certain marine plants and animals. Often called “the king of the carotenoids,” astaxanthin is recognized as being one of the most powerful antioxidants found in nature. It is of particular significance, because unlike some other types of antioxidants, astaxanthin never becomes a pro-oxidant in the body so it can never cause harmful oxidation.

What Are the Benefits of Astaxanthin?
Astaxanthin is an antioxidant, so it naturally reduces free radicals in the body. But besides that, it also significantly reduces the oxidative load in the body by protecting the cells against oxidation. Because of astaxanthin’s unique molecular structure, this red-colored pigment is an extremely powerful antioxidant that is very effective against singlet oxygen. It has a powerful scavenging ability for lipid and free radicals, and effectively breaks peroxide chain reactions.

While astaxanthin was initially introduced as a “super antioxidant,” it has also been found to benefit a number of bodily functions, including:

Eye Health – The structure of astaxanthin is similar to lutein and zeaxanthin, two antioxidants that have been shown to reduce the risk of nuclear cataracts. But, while similar, astaxanthin has a stronger antioxidant activity and UV-light protection effect, both of which point to it being an excellent supplement for eye health maintenance.

Skin Health – Astaxanthin has been shown to help improve skin moisture levels, elasticity, and smoothness while reducing wrinkles, freckles, and spots. 

Astaxanthin’s antioxidant properties have also been shown to help improve heart health, cellular health, and the body’s immune system.
 

Why Do Humans Take Krill Oil? What Does Astaxanthin Do?

Consumption of fish or omega-3 fatty acids, especially EPA and DHA, has been recommended by many international organizations such as the American Heart Association, the US National Institute of Health and more. Studies have shown that diets supplemented with EPA and DHA may contribute to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). In a clinical study conducted by Enzymotec, we have demonstrated that K·REAL Krill oil increases the omega-3 index (the percent of EPA+DHA in red blood cells) more efficiently than fish oil, and by that help lower the risk of CVD.

Krill oil contains EPA and DHA, the same omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil, although usually in smaller amounts. The effects of krill oil have not been researched as thoroughly as those of fish oil. But a few preliminary studies suggest that krill oil could be superior in some ways. Krill oil might be better absorbed
in the body than fish oil.

One small study found that krill oil, like omega-3s in general, could improve rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis symptoms such as pain, stiffness, and functional impairment. It also lowered levels of C-reactive protein, a marker for inflammation in the body that’s been linked with heart disease.

Antarctic krill (Euphausia Superba), is a shrimp-like invertebrate (crustacean), that lives in large schools, called swarms which can reach densities of 10,000-30,000 individual krill per cubic meter. Krill, in terms of biomass, is the most abundant animal species on the planet (approximately 500 million tons). All fish stocks are limited and exhaustible and the objectives of any eco-sustainable approach would be to maintain human benefits from fish stocks while preserving the ability of fish stocks to replace themselves and the integrity of ecosystems.

Better Absorption: 

We consume omega-3 fatty acids because, for decades now, hundreds of successful studies have shown beyond any doubt that these special fatty acids are important to our health. However, to exert the benefits, the fatty acids must first be absorbed into the blood and then accumulate in target organs such as the heart, liver, brain etc.

kill oil DX, unlike fish oil, is a phospholipid omega-3 based oil, and was shown to be more efficiently accumulated in the blood and in target organs.

Double efficacy
Omega-3 fatty acids have numerous beneficial effects on our health. Recently, a new risk factor for CVD was proposed called the Omega-3 Index.

No fishy burps: Consumption of fish oil is often accompanied by unpleasant fishy burps and aftertaste. This inconvenience has a devastating effect on compliance since it keeps people from taking this important supplement. However, consumption of krill oil DX is not accompanied by unpleasant fishy burps due to its special composition.

Astaxanthin Natural antioxidant :one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants, naturally accumulates in the Antarctic Krill body, and is co-extracted with krill oil DX naturally contains Astaxanthin that helps protect the body against the damaging effects of free radicals.
 

What is The Difference of Fish Oil Versus KRILL OIL DX? Unique Advantages of Krill Oil DX

Unique Advantages

Krill oil has many benefits and unique advantages attributed to its unique source, residing in the Southern Ocean, on one hand, and its unique composition on the other hand, resulting from its very special extraction method.

The Southern Ocean constitutes one of the most remote areas on our planet, and as such is isolated from environmental contaminants. Antarctic krill feeds on plankton, close to the bottom of the food chain, and is therefore free from accumulation of heavy metals, that are typical to large fish.

krill oil DX composition is unique since, unlike almost all other omega-3 oils which are triglyceride-based, the omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) in krill oil DX are attached to phospholipids as well as to triglycerides. To obtain this special composition, krill oil is produced from Antarctic krill using a Multi Stage Oil extraction process (MSO), which assures the extraction of high quality oil rich in omega-3 in its natural phospholipid form.

No Fishy Burps
The Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) is an International treaty between 25 nations that seeks to manage’ the preservation of the species and the diversity and stability of the entire Antarctic marine ecosystem. The CCAMLR was first established in 1982 in response to global concerns about the effect of krill fishing activities.
In addition, krill oil eased symptomsof premenstrual syndrome in another small study.
Highlights From Clinical Trial
Consumption of 3 g/day krill oil for 4 weeks increases plasma and RBC concentrations of total omega-3 PUFA, EPA, and the sum of EPA and DHA compared to fish and corn oil in healthy humans. Krill oil consumption also resulted in a significant decrease in omega-6:omega-3 ratio compared to fish oil and control treatments.

Krill oil consumption resulted in an elevated omega-3 index compared to consumption of fish oil and control oil treatments, emphasizing the efficiency and higher bioavailability of krill oil over fish oil.

Results indicate that the bioavailability of krill oil omega-3 PUFA might be more pronounced compared with that of fish oil, likely due to the structural differences between these two marine oils.

Krill Oil DX products, sourced from sustainable fishery, are eligible to bear the “Friend of the Sea” seal identifying their origin from a sustainable source, and providing consumers with a promise of sustainability and effective fishery management.

Sustainability of Antarctic krill harvesting is crucial for marine life of the Southern Ocean, which is closely monitored by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR).

NDX pledges that all krill biomass used for the manufacturing of its krill oil, is supplied only from vessels and facilities monitored by CCAMLR.

The total krill biomass is estimated to be between 125 and 750 million metric tons, which is estimated to be twice the weight of all human on earth 1. Krill for direct human consumption, in the form of krill oil supplements, amount to less than 0.1% of the precautionary catch limit set by CCAMLR.
