There is no doubt that krill oil offers a range of health benefits, with heart and liver health at the top of that list. This is all due to the unique nutrients that this valuable oil provides: the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA and choline, in the form of highly bioavailable phospholipids^[1]. This natural complex acts as a multi-nutrient supplement, supporting the heart, brain, joints, liver, skin and much more. DHA and EPA acids contribute to the proper functioning of the heart, while DHA contributes to optimal brain function and the maintenance of good vision. Choline, meanwhile, supports liver function and contributes to normal homocysteine and fat metabolism. Choline also plays an important role in signalling in cell membranes and in early brain development ^[2]. Choline in krill oil is found in the natural form of phosphatidylcholine - the form found in food - making it easy to meet the daily requirement for this nutrient.

Super Krill Oil 1180 mg contains SUPERBA Boost® krill oil, the effects of which are supported by several clinical studies. Krill oil intake has been shown to increase blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids in as little as 30 days ^[3], and has also been shown to lower triglyceride levels^[4,5] and increase blood levels of so-called good HDL cholesterol ^[6], which reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. In vivo studies have also shown the positive effects of krill oil on liver health. It supports liver function by reducing fat accumulation and contributes to proper fat metabolism. In addition, krill oil supplementation contributes to an increase in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and oxylipins in adipose tissue and liver, and may also have an effect on alleviating inflammation associated with obesity ^[7,8].
