Pure Encapsulations Krill-Plex 60 Capsules

Krill-plex is derived from Antarctic krill, a zooplankton crustacean
offering a naturally unique balance of omega-3 fatty acids,
phospholipids and antioxidants, including astaxanthin. Specific to krill
oil is an omegaphospholipid complex that is rich in eicosapentanoic
acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA). Carefully preserved by a
distinct cold extraction process, this novel structure consists of EPA
and DHA as two fatty acid side chains on the phospholipid molecule.
Additionally, an astaxanthin ester is attached to the EPA, providing an
intricately bonded molecule that allows for direct delivery of these
nutrients into the cell nucleus, and most importantly, the mitochondria.
The phospholipid-fatty acid profile closely resembles that of human
brain phospholipids, allowing it to easily transverse the blood-brain
barrier. Krill oil provides an ideal essential fatty acid balance for
the maintenance of good health. This unique, highly bioavailable complex
provides particular support for joint comfort and healthy inflammatory
balance. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study suggests
that krill oil promotes joint comfort and reduces blood C-reactive
protein levels, a clinical marker of inflammation. Furthermore, results
showed statistically significant support for joint flexibility and
function.
