Why is Neptune Krill Oil® the Better Choice?
The Powerful Red Discovery from the Antarctic!
Krill oil is made from krill – tiny, shrimp–like crustaceans found in the frigid waters of the Antarctic. Despite their tiny size, krill pack a punch in nutritional power. Neptune Krill Oil® provides a rich source of Omega–3 bound to phospholipids, Omega–6, Omega–9, choline, astaxanthin, Vitamin A and Vitamin E.

Neptune Krill Oil (NKO®) is manufactured by Neptune Technologies & Bioresources Inc., the pioneer in the research and development of krill oil for human health benefits. Harvested from 100% pure Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) and extracted using a patented, cold–vacuum extraction method called Neptune Ocean Extract™ that optimizes its active components, NKO® is offering you the best quality krill oil in the consumer market.
 
The New Leader in the World of Omega–3
Superior Bioavailability to Fish Oil – Works Better and Faster!
Unlike fish oil, the Omega–3 fatty acids in krill oil are absorbed and carried to your body cells in phospholipid form. Phospholipids are the building blocks of our cell membranes. They regulate cellular transport by functioning as ‘gatekeepers’. Phospholipids also protect cell membranes from free radical attack. Krill oil contains Omega–3 fatty acids in phospholipids form, which are easily recognized, incorporated and utilized by our body.
 
Highest absorbable Omega–3 for Quicker Results and Greater Health Benefits!
Think omegas from plant sources are just as good? Plant–based Omega–3s exist in ALA (alphalinolenic acid) form, of which only a small percentage is converted to EPA and almost none to DHA. Studies show that the conversion efficiency is also influenced by diet and physical health conditions. Combined together, these factors reduce conversion efficiency further – which means ALA omega–3s work slower!
 
Rich with Phospholipids :
A Super Nutrient Essential for Every Cell in the Body!
The most major predominant phospholipids in krill oil are Phosphatidylcholine. Studies have shown the importance of choline in brain development, learning and memory. Choline is also a precursor for trimethylglycine, a recognized liver protector.
 
Phospholipids Function
PhosphatidylCholine (PC)
    • Key building block of membrane bi-layers

    • Integral component of the lipoproteins, especially HDL, known as the ‘good cholesterol’

    • Choline is important for brain development, learning and memory

  • Helps protect your liver
PhosphatidylEthanolamine (PE)
    • Key building block of membrane bi–layers

  • Supports and stimulates transport systems in your body
PhosphatidylInositol (PI)
    • Key constituent in membrane

    • Participates in crucial metabolic processes

  • Present in all tissues and cell types, and especially abundant in brain tissue
PhosphatidylSerine (PS)
    • Present in plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum of the cells

    • Key component that initiates mineral deposition in bone formation

  • Imperative for the maintenance of neuronal survival
 
Superior Antioxidant Potency – that Exceeds Other Supplements!
Fish oil, the most common source of Omega–3 is prone to oxidation due to harsh conventional processing methods hence are weak in antioxidant content and turn rancid easily. Consuming fish oils that are rancid negates their beneficial effects and can even be harmful for your body. Krill oil is rich in astaxanthin, the powerful antioxidant that gives krill oil its typical deep red color. Astaxanthin keeps krill oil naturally fresh. The esterified form of astaxanthin in NKO® offers unparalleled antioxidant potency, even better than algal astaxanthin!
 
Omega–3 in Phospholipid Form + Powerful Antioxidants = BETTER HEALTH!

7.4 times greater antioxidant activity than Astaxanthin
34 times greater antioxidant activity than Coenzyme Q–10
48 times greater antioxidant activity than fish Oil
302 times greater antioxidant activity than Vitamin E!
 
Astaxanthin – a potent antioxidant!
Astaxanthin provides strong antioxidant activity against free radicals, pollutants and other health–threatening substances. Unlike other carotenoids, astaxanthin has the unique ability to pass through human "blood–brain barrier". The antioxidant balancing benefits of astaxanthin are not only delivered to the body via the bloodstream, but also to our brain, eyes and central nervous system!
 
Superior Wholesome Nutrition
In addition to EPA and DHA, Neptune Krill Oil contains Vitamin A, Vitamin E, and phospholipids like Phosphatidylcholine, a super nutrient that supports cognitive function and liver health.
