Krill-plex

- Complex of essential fatty acids and highly bioavailable phospholipids
Krill-plex is derived from Antarctic krill, a species of zooplankton offering a unique natural balance of omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids and antioxidants, including astaxanthin. Krill oil contains a unique omega-phospholipid complex that is rich in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Carefully preserved using a unique cold extraction process, this new structure consists of two fatty acid side chains (EPA and DHA) on the phospholipid molecule. Additionally, an astaxanthin ester is attached to EPA, producing an intricately linked molecule that allows direct transfer of these nutrients into the cell nucleus and, importantly, the mitochondria. The phospholipid-fatty acid profile closely resembles that of phospholipids in the human brain, allowing it to easily cross the blood-brain barrier. Krill oil provides an ideal balance of essential fatty acids supporting the maintenance of good health. This unique highly bioavailable complex provides special support for joint comfort and inflammation regulation. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study suggests that krill oil promotes joint comfort and reduces blood levels of C-reactive protein, a clinical marker of inflammation. Additionally, results demonstrated statistically significant support for joint flexibility and function. The krill oil in Krill-plex comes from NKO®, which is a registered trademark of Neptune Technologies & Bioresources, Inc.
