Twinlab Krill Essentials Joint Krill Oil -- 60 Softgels

Twinlab Krill Essentials Joint Krill Oil -- 60 Softgels

Supports Health of Sore and Stiff Joints. Promotes Flexible Joint Health Twinlab Joint Krill Oil contains the revolutionary, 100% pure, patented Neptune Krill Oil (NKO™) with unique phospholipids not available in fish oils. NKO™ phospholipids contain substantially high quantities of EPA (45 mg) and DHA (27 mg). Unlike other sources of Omega-3, this fatty acid profile aids recognition by the body based on its resemblance to the human brain's own phospholipids. In a recent double-blind study, taking 300 mg of NKO™ daily was shown to help maintain healthy levels of CRP (C-Reactive Protein). CRP is a protein associated with join health. Joint Krill Oil helps support sore and stiff joints, while also promoting flexibility. What is Neptune Krill Oil (NKO™)? Using the patented process (US Patent No.:6,800,299 B1), Neptune Krill Oil is extracted from the zooplankton crustacean found in the Antarctic Ocean. The rapidly repopulating krill assures a plentiful, sustainable harvest of nature's finest omega-3 oils. Twinlab's Joint Krill Oil is harvested, processed and tested to be free of PCB and heavy metals. Also, due to the fact that the omega-3 in NKO™ has superior antioxidant activity, there will be no fishy "repeats" (burp-ups). Why Twinlab Joint Krill Oil? Efficacy - Contains a unique and substantial offering of EPA (45 mg) and DHA (27 mg), the two most commonly deficient polyunsaturated fatty acids in the typical diet, thus being more efficacious and of higher value. The NKO™ fatty acid profile resembles that of a human brain's own phospholipids, making it easier to be recognized by the body. Uniqueness - Consists of unique marine flavonoids which are not found in other non-plant sources. These natural marine flavonoids facilitate bioavailability of antioxidants in the product. Superiority - Possesses proven, superior antioxidants such as Vitamin A, E, esterified astaxanthin and marine flavonoids. Laboratory testing shows that the antioxidant activity in NKO™ is 48 times greater than fish oils tested. NKO™ had an antioxidant activity (ORAC lipoFL) of 378 compared to tested fish oils, which only had 8. ORAC is a bio-analytical test that evaluates antioxidant activity against harmful radicals.

"I don't think I've been taking krill oil long enough to submit a totally honest review, but I will say that I've noticed I have no knee pain now when I exercise. I hadn't exercised in a while prior to taking krill oil and had always taken regular fish oil with no notable differences in health. I started the krill oil less than a month ago and started exercising again this week without any pain in my knees as I did lunges and squats. I have also been on other supplements, including those for hormone balance, so I probably can't pinpoint exactly what has caused the relief. But I'm willing to bet the krill oil has had something to do with it. I can definitely say that I do not get 'fish burps' with this product as opposed to regular fish oil. ...and great price for 60 servings!"
