Time you went in for the krill
THE bounty of the oceans has long been shown to be beneficial to our health. The oil from fatty fish contains omega- 3 fatty acids, known to boost the brain, protect the heart and support vision as well as helping growth and fighting disease.
And yet despite its importance, the fall in fish consumption means that few of us get the amount of omega- 3 that we need. The answer is a dietary supplement – fish oil. But not any fish oil, specifically Bioglan Red Krill Oil.
We’ve all heard of the traditional cod liver oil as a boon to our bodies, and yet krill oil is now recognised as a far superior option.
The bonus with krill oil – from the shrimp- like crustaceans that feed on algae and play a major role in the oceans’ ecosystem – is that it naturally combines the omega- 3 with phospholipids, a big component of cell membranes.
Bioglan Red Krill Oil is the leading brand, containing pure, sustainably sourced krill oil from the pristine waters of the Antarctic ocean in high concentration.
Normal fish oil has to be broken down by our body before it can be used, but because Red Krill Oil is bound to phospholipids, our body recognises it and absorbs it quicker – giving more health benefits faster. And that’s along with no fishy aftertaste.
Bioglan Red Krill Oil is also easy to take – no spoons and messy liquid, just simple capsules, smaller than most.
It also contains choline, something our body can’t make enough of yet an essential nutrient for many body functions such as nerve signalling, liver and muscles.
Even the red colour ( Astaxanthin) is important, a natural antioxidant that protects the oil from oxidation, eliminating the need for preservatives.
DHA ( Docosahexaenoic Acid) is a primary component of the brain and particularly of the cerebral cortex, the area responsible for memory and language, so is particularly important as we get older. Poor DHA levels have been linked with mental health issues such as depression.
A daily Bioglan Red Krill Oil capsule can be important in maintaining the facilities of both body and brain no matter what age we are.
And you can be confident that you’re doing your bit for the environment.
Sustainability is key and Bioglan Red Krill Oil is certified sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council and 100 per cent traceable back to the origin – there’s a number on each box that can be located to Bioglan’s traceability tool.
