Benefits of EPO and krill oil
ONE of the famous sources of omega-3 is from krill oil. Krill are shrimp-like crustaceans that live in cold waters especially around the Antarctica and feed on microscopic algae.
Because of the diet, the oil extracted from krill is rich in omega-3 fatty acid, including EPA and DHA. The phospholipid form of EPA and DHA from krill oil is better incorporated into cells and tissues.
This makes the omega-3 in krill oil significantly more bioavailable as it allows direct entrance of EPA and DHA into the cells.
Omega-3 fatty acid in krill oil has antioxidant properties for healthy body development and functions.
In addition to that, omega-3 fatty acid may reduce the risk of diseases. Evening primrose oil is a kind of herbal extract traditionally used for a wide range of ailments, commonly for women’s health. The oil is extracted from evening primrose (oenothera biennis )plant seeds.
Evening primrose oil contains high amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), including omega-6 fatty acids, linolenic acid, and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). These help stimulate skin and hair growth and regulate metabolism.
The oil is one of a few natural sources that contains high amounts of GLA in the world.
