Krill oil imparts anti-inflammatory properties from the omega-3 fats EPA and DHA as well as powerful antioxidant properties from the phospholipids. Krill is a tiny crustacean that constitutes the largest animal biomass in the world. The oil extracted from krill, rich in EPA and DHA, is bound to highly unsaturated phospholipids that closely resemble those found in the human brain. These phospholipids - phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylethanolamine - are major components of cell membranes and are essential for life. Phospholipids act as cellular messengers and trans-carriers of EPA and DHA, rapidly dispersing the omega-3s throughout the body. XanthOmega Krill Oil has a high phospholipid content containing at least 40% phospholipids, mostly phosphatidylcholine. Our version is the purest form available on the market with a better absorption of astaxanthin - a powerful antioxidant contained in krill oil. A single capsule of XanthOmega Krill Oil contains the astaxanthin levels of 8 conventional krill capsules. Astaxanthin is a carotenoid from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis, a staple of the diet on which krill feed and is responsible for their vibrant pink color. As research continues to confirm the many health benefits of high-dose astaxanthin, Designs for Health has fortified its XanthOmega Krill Oil with 12 mg per serving of AstaREAL, a registered trademark of astaxanthin. AstaREAL is extracted directly from microalgae using a solvent-free technology that ensures maximum control and purity. AstaREAL® is the most studied astaxanthin in the world with over 40 clinical trials in animals and humans.
