‘Body-ready’ omega 3 rich in astaxanthin and naturally bound marine phospholipids There is growing evidence which demonstrates the benefit of krill oil supplementation in sport, and as a result it is fast becoming a firm favourite among researchers and practitioners alike. Although containing relatively low levels of the benefical omega 3 fatty acids DHA and EPA when compared to traditional fish oils, it is krill oil’s unique compounds astaxanthin and marine phospholipids that truly set it apart. Phospholipids are a fundamental compound of human cell membranes, and it is their presence that is thought to contribute to the unparalleled bioavailability of krill oil, whilst the presence of the powerful compound astaxanthin is unique amongst fish oils. The krill oil used in Healthspan Elite Krill Oil 1,200mg has been sourced exclusively from sustainable fisheries, using eco-harvesting technology from the cold and unpolluted waters of the Antarctic. Krill oil’s purity is unrivalled by other forms of fish oil due to the nutrient rich waters which they inhabit. Each 1,200mg Healthspan Elite capsule contains 276mg omega 3 fatty acids (77mg DHA and 149mg EPA) as well as particularly high levels of the important compounds astaxanthin (120mcg) and marine phospholipids (492mg). Each capsule is completed with the inclusion of natural lemon flavour to improve palatability and reduce reflux.
