XanthOmega™ Krill Oil is an extract from Antarctic krill, rich in the cell membrane-building blocks EPA and DHA (omega-3 fatty acids) bound to highly unsaturated phospholipids, closely resembling human brain phospholipids. This krill is considered to be a virgin krill oil, the purest form available. It contains higher phospholipid bioavailability, which enhances the absorption of the powerful carotenoid and antioxidant, astaxanthin. It would take 8 conventional krill softgels to equal the astaxanthin levels in just 1 XanthOmega™ softgel.
