Description : Kordel’s Krill-Xanthin contains the extract of krill harvested from the Antarctic Ocean. Krill are one of the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Krill-Xanthin is rich in the phospholipids EPA & DHA, and provides clinically proven superior bio-efficiency compared to other marine oils. Phospholipid-bound omega-3 fatty acids are water dispersible, making them gentle on the stomach and more readily absorbed by the body.
Krill-Xanthin is also rich with naturally occurring vitamins A and E and astaxanthin, a fat-soluble carotenoid responsible for the characteristic red colour of krill oil.
The Amazing Krill Oil vs Other Marine Oils
Krill are shrimp-like crustaceans that inhabit the pristine cold waters of the Antarctic Ocean. They feed on phytoplankton and are eaten in turn by larger sea creatures including whales, sharks and seals. Like fish oil, krill oil is rich in unsaturated Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA).
There is however a major difference between fish oil and krill oil. In fish oil, the EPA and DHA are present as triglycerides, which are the form of fats that the body uses for energy and that is stored as body fat for future energy needs. On the other hand, krill oil is rich in EPA, DHA and Astaxanthin in a unique phospholipid form. The phospholipid form of omega-3 is better utilized by the body to promote cellular structure and function compared to triglyceride omega-3s, which are primarily used for energy consumption.
The physical characteristics of triglycerides differ from phospholipids and this affects how they are tolerated by the body. One clear difference is that triglycerides do not disperse in fluids and have a tendency to float on top of stomach fluids, which can result in the fishy burps often associated with fish oil supplements. In contrast, phospholipid omega-3s do disperse in water and easily blend with stomach fluids, ensuring that there is no fishy aftertaste with krill oil.
Omega-3 fatty acids are susceptible to oxidation. Krill oil has two great advantages over traditional marine-oil based products: it has a high content of both omega-3 phospholipids and naturally occurring astaxanthins.
Scientific studies have shown that omega-3 fatty acids bound to phospholipids are far less prone to oxidation than omega-3 fatty acids in their traditional triglyceride form. Powerful antioxidants also provide omega-3 fatty acids with additional protection against oxidation.
Benefits
Reduces the Risk of Heart Attacks
Consuming krill oil reduces the risk of heart attacks. It regulates cholesterol levels, keeps arteries clean and has anti-inflammatory effects, all of which are beneficial to the cardiovascular system. In clinical studies involving patients with high total cholesterol levels, krill oil reduced total cholesterol levels by a staggering 13% more than most conventional fish oils. The results were even more impressive in trials involving patients taking anti-cholesterol drugs together with krill oil, as the reduction in total cholesterol was even greater than with drugs alone.
Reduces Inflammation and Chronic Joint Pain
Inflammation is a big cause of pain in both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Hence, easing inflammation is key to relieving joint pain and other arthritis symptoms. The unique molecular composition of krill oil with its omega-3s, phospholipids, and powerful antioxidants exerts its anti-inflammatory effects by preventing the natural substances in the body from promoting inflammation and pain. These remarkable benefits were observed in a WOMAC Phase II Clinical Study in which krill oil was shown to greatly reduce pain and improve joint flexibility.
Improves Mental Alertness and Focus
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and choline from the phospholipids are essential nutrients that the brain needs for proper cognitive function and development. The unique structure of krill oil which provides astaxanthin and omega-3s in phospholipid form enables it to penetrate the protective layer of the brain more effectively, so that more of these nutrients are delivered to the brain.
Alleviates Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)
PMS is characterized by a set of hormonal changes that trigger disruptive symptoms in women for up to two weeks prior to menstruation.
Krill oil is effective for PMS because its key fatty acids (EPA & DHA) have potent anti-inflammatory properties, which can help ease physical complaints such as uterine cramps, nausea, vomiting, bloating and headaches. In addition to that, phospholipid molecules in krill oil play an important role in membrane fluidity, which may be the most crucial activity in the management of emotional symptoms like depression, irritability and anxiety.
Studies have shown that after a 3 month period of krill oil supplementation, patients noticed significant improvements in the physical and emotional symptoms of PMS.
Indications
Supports healthy joints and memory, reduces the risk of coronary heart disease and alleviates PMS.
