What are the benefits
of the Omega-3 fatty acids
in Krill oil?

The intake of Omega-3 fatty acids in particular EPA and DHA has been linked to many health benefits, ranging from improved cardiovascular health and cognitive function to lower levels of inflammation.
A clinical study conducted on 76 men and women revealed an overall increase of EPA and DHA due to the consumption of Krill oil: after 7 weeks, the individuals who took Krill Oil had fatty-acid levels that were 45% higher than those of individuals who took fish oil.

Cardiovascular Health

Recent clinical studies have shown that Omega-3 phospholipids promote cardiovascular health.

The studies have identified a link between the concentration of omega-3 fatty acids in tissues, blood, and red blood cells, on the one hand, and the overall health of the cardiovascular system, on the other. Omega-3 fatty acids are well-known for promoting heart and cardiovascular health, and most of the tests that have been conducted to date support the thesis that omega-3 fatty acids are essential for a balanced diet. Research also shows that omega-3 fatty acids support the maintenance of blood pressure and cholesterol levels that are already within a normal range. They also contribute to maintaining a regular heart rate, and they support the process of blood clotting. As a result, omega 3 fatty acids help maintain the heart and arteries in good health, thus contributing to the prevention of heart disease and protecting against the development of arteriosclerotic plaques on the walls of blood vessels. An increased intake of omega-3 fatty acids led to a reduction of sudden cardiac deaths and (fatal and non-fatal) heart attacks, as well as improvements in the survival rates and symptoms associated with other cardiovascular diseases.

Brain Functions

Brain Functions

Omega-3 phospholipids play a crucial role in supporting the proper structure and function of cell membranes in the brain.

The brain is the control center of the human body. It continues to change and grow with age. Omega-3 fatty acids are critical to brain development, health and maintenance throughout the life cycle. In terms of fatty acid content, the central nervous system—including the brain—is surpassed only by adipose tissue. The DHA omega-3 fatty acid is the most common fatty acid in the human brain, accounting for 15% of all fatty acids in that organ. The phospholipids contained in omega-3 fatty acids play a key role in supporting the proper structure and function of cell membranes in the brain, sustaining adequate cell-signaling processes in particular. Conversely, an omega-3 deficiency in brain tissue can affect the brain's operations and development.

Reduce bad cholesterol

Omega 3 fatty acids offer a valid help in balancing ongoing inflammatory processes in the body and preventing the occurrence of problems related to high blood pressure.

Omega-3 acids facilitate the reduction of triglyceride and bad cholesterol (LDL) and the concurrent increase of good cholesterol (HDL). In a study including 113 patients with normal to slightly high cholesterol or triglyceride levels, the concentrations of HDL-cholesterol and triglycerides (which constitute risk factors for the heart) were significantly improved following the intake of krill oil, but not following treatment with fish oil.

Joint health

Joint health

Omega-3 fatty acids bolster joint health.

Omega-3 fatty acids are also efficient at supporting joint cartilage. A study aimed at evaluating the effects of Krill Oil on C-reactive protein (CRP) —an inflammatory biomarker—found that a daily intake of 300 mg/day of Krill Oil reduced the presence of CRP by 19% after just 7 days and by 30% after 14 days of treatment. Confirming the clinical benefits that follow from a reduction of CRP, patients with arthritis experienced a reduction of 24% in the WOMAC pain scale after 7 days, and of 25% after 14 days. They also experienced a 22% reduction of joint stiffness and a 16% reduction in functional damage after 7 days, which increased to a 28% reduction of joint stiffness and an 18% reduction in functional damage after 14 days of treatment.

Support to women's health

Omega 3 fatty acids offer reliable support to women's health throughout their life cycle.

Omega-3 fatty acids play a crucial role in women's lives from birth to adulthood. Their benefits for prenatal health, premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and mood health have been a focus of research. Women can count on concrete support from the omega-3 phospholipids contained in krill. Premenstrual syndrome is characterized by a series of hormonal changes that trigger symptoms in a significant number of women as early as two weeks before menstruation.
