Fortified with increased levels of astaxanthin for expanded health benefits We have increased the amount of the powerful antioxidantastaxanthin in XanthOmega™ Krill Oil from 1.5 mg to 12 mg per serving to help achieve optimal benefits from this potent carotenoid.It would take 8 conventional krill softgels to equal the astaxanthin levels in just 1 XanthOmega™ softgel! What are Krill?Krill are tiny crustaceans found in the sea and make up the world's largest animal biomass. The oil extracted from krill is rich in the omega–3 fatty acids EPA and DHA bound to highly unsaturated phospholipids, closely resembling human brain phospholipids. These phospholipids – phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidylethanolamine – are essential to life and are a major component of cell membranes, functioning as cell messengers and as carriers of EPA and DHA, providing a fast and effective delivery of these omega–3s.Designs for Health's improved XanthOmega™ Krill Oil has a high phospholipid content, standardized to a minimum of 40% phospholipids, mostly as phosphatidylcholine. This updated version is considered to be a virgin krill oil, the purest form available, with higher phospholipid bioavailability, enhancing the absorption of one of krill's shining features, the powerful antioxidant astaxanthin.
