MegaKRILL 1500 mg krill oil + fish oil • 90 capsules

If you eat little fish, taking MegaKrill oil can help reduce this nutritional gap in your diet.
Mannavita MegaKrill oil can be taken continuously without interruption: with krill oil, you can easily replenish the necessary Omega-3.

• Mannavita MegaKrill contains 500 mg capsules that are easy to swallow.
• The recommended daily dose is 1500 mg = 3 capsules of 500 mg each.

It contains both krill oil and fish oil, providing a more complex effect compared to taking only krill oil or fish oil separately.

The Omega-3 in krill oil is efficiently absorbed because it naturally contains Omega-3 fatty acids in phospholipid form, so the liver does not need to convert it. Thanks to its fat solubility, it is easily absorbed through the intestinal wall and directly reaches the cell membranes.

Krill also contains a unique and powerful antioxidant, astaxanthin, which reduces cell damage caused by free radicals in the body. Astaxanthin protects Omega-3 fatty acids from oxidation and rancidity.

The capsule is small, easy to swallow, has no fishy aftertaste, does not go rancid, and does not cause reflux.

MegaKrill is derived from sustainable fisheries. This means the krill oil is extracted from fish caught in strictly controlled fisheries that do not harm or disrupt the marine ecosystem. MegaKrill is made from the Euphausia superba species. [01.]

Properties of MegaKrill

Warnings: Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet. Keep out of the reach of children. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.

Astaxanthin in krill oil

Astaxanthin in krill oil is one of the most powerful antioxidant compounds, much more effective than, for example, vitamin E, lycopene, or lutein. According to research, krill oil is 48 times stronger as an antioxidant than fish oil! [02.]

Astaxanthin penetrates the blood-brain barrier and integrates vertically into the neuronal plasma membrane. Here, it attracts and removes free electrons in the solution, keeping them away from the phospholipids in the membrane.

Astaxanthin protects the Omega-3 fatty acids in krill oil

Astaxanthin in krill oil prevents the breakdown of Omega-3 fatty acids, eliminating the fishy aftertaste and avoiding belching. Thanks to astaxanthin, krill oil has a much longer shelf life, and its nutrients remain effective.

The membranes of brain cells are constantly active and under attack by free radicals. Astaxanthin preserves the proper condition of nerve cells and helps maintain sharp mental focus.

Astaxanthin also provides protection against harmful UV rays, reduces inflammation (including joint inflammation, stiffness, and pain), and prevents the development of cataracts. Krill oil also contains vitamins A, E, and D, flavonoids, carotenoids, and canthaxanthin, which also has strong antioxidant properties.[03.]

Cardiovascular protection

Omega-3 fatty acids prevent platelet aggregation, reducing blood thickness and lowering the risk of high blood pressure and thrombosis. Omega-3 fatty acids in krill oil stabilize atherosclerotic plaques, reducing the likelihood of arteriosclerosis. They also exhibit anti-inflammatory and anti-platelet aggregation effects, lowering the risk of sudden cardiac death.

Omega-3 fatty acids significantly improve fat metabolism, protecting the health of the heart and blood vessels. They also possess strong anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties. [04.]

DHA reduces the risk of circulatory diseases and heart attacks, and it has a beneficial effect on blood sugar levels. EPA reduces thromboxane overproduction, regulates its levels, and prevents blood clots.

Omega-3 fatty acids in krill oil are already bound to fat molecules

The Omega-3 fatty acids in krill oil are naturally bound to fat molecules, meaning they are in phospholipid form, just like the phospholipids in our body. This gives the advantage of bypassing the need for conversion by our body.

Due to their fat solubility, phospholipid-form Omega-3 fatty acids are easily absorbed through the intestinal wall and directly reach the cell membranes. This makes krill oil particularly effective in reducing cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

The significance of phosphatidylcholine

In addition to EPA and DHA, krill oil contains a complex phospholipid profile, the most important of which is phosphatidylcholine, rich in choline. Choline is an effective stress-reducing compound.

Phospholipids are fundamental to cell function, forming the structural components of cell surface membranes and intracellular membranes. They play a critical role in the functioning of the nervous system and liver. Phosphatidylcholines are essential for glucose uptake, glycogen synthesis, and lowering high cholesterol levels. [05.]

Phosphatidylcholine produces acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter crucial for memory, concentration, recollection, and attention. Krill oil positively impacts all these functions. Studies confirm that it improves short-term memory and boosts mood.

Simultaneously improves the heart, brain, and eye health

Studies have shown that krill oil supports the health of the heart, brain, and eyes. It alleviates physical and emotional symptoms of PMS, increases energy levels and mental alertness, and reduces inflammation, particularly in the joints.

Krill oil lowers the risk of ventricular fibrillation, helping to prevent arrhythmias and related fatalities. [06.]

It slightly reduces blood pressure by improving endothelial function and enhances the effectiveness of antihypertensive medications. Krill oil promotes the natural production of nitric oxide, supporting the prevention of blockages in the heart's blood vessels.
