What does it mean to be sustainably harvested?
Optivida Health’s Super Krill Oil is extracted from small shrimp-like crustacean that live in the Southern Ocean. There are approximately 500 million metric tons of krill in the Antarctic waters, representing the largest marine biomass on earth.[8]
Our Super Krill Oil is sustainably harvested and 100% traceable from sea to shelf. Our eco-harvesting technology is a patented fishing system that delicately brings krill alive and fresh aboard our vessels, while at the same time singling out unwanted by catch and minimizing environmental impact.
Why does your body need Omega 3’s?
Immune Support
Krill oil is more bioavailable than traditional fish oil making it easier for your body to digest which allows your body to absorb the nutrients more effectually. These nutrients include the healthy fats, EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which work to remove inflammation in your immune system.*[3]
Reduce Inflammation
The omega 3’s, EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) have been shown to be the most important omega-3s for fighting inflammation. One serving of Optivida Super Krill provides 220 milligrams of EPA and DHA. This product also naturally contains astaxanthin which adds a huge boost to the anti-inflammatory power of krill.*[4]
Brain and Heart Health
Research shows that consumption of the healthy fats EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. DHA also contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and eye health.*[5,6]
Healthy Skin
The powerful combination of fatty acids and antioxidants found in krill oil have been shown to improve skin health. The fatty acids moisturize the skin and strengthen the skins barrier to naturally increase hydration and elasticity. The antioxidant astaxanthin protects the skin from damage and harmful free radicals.*[7]
Studies have also shown that taking an omega 3 supplement may be able to decrease the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS).*[1]
Ingredients
Lab-tested for purity
- Omega -3 Fatty Acids (EPA & DHA)
- Fatty acids that are found in fat and cell membranes and can be used as energy.
- Phospholipid
- Represents the building blocks of all cell membranes and therefore effectively delivers EPA and DHA to the blood, tissues and organs.
- Choline
- Important for the synthesis of neurotransmitters (acetylcholine) and phospholipids.
- Astaxanthin
- Contains potent antioxidant properties and protects the omega-3s fatty acids in krill oil from oxidation, keeping them naturally fresh and stable over time.
Why your body needs choline?
