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.
