Swanson Vitamins Concentrated Krill Oil - Featuring Superba Boost

Health-savvy consumers know that many organizations recommend eating fatty fish at least twice per week to help increase intake of omega-3s. But not everyone has fish on the menu, and fish oil supplements can have an unpleasant aftertaste. If you want the health benefits of omega fatty acids, Swanson Concentrated Krill Oil featuring Superba Boost® may be just what you’re looking for. Marine oil from krill—tiny Antarctic crustaceans—is a natural source of omega fatty acids EPA and DHA. Krill oil supplements are formulated differently than fish oil supplements, with krill commonly delivering the EFAs in a phospholipid-bound form, whereas fish oil is most often in triglyceride form. What does this mean for you? Phospholipid-bound forms are generally easier for the body to utilize and also result in less “fishy burps.” Learn more about krill oil vs. fish oil from our experts. The omega-3 fatty acids found in krill oil are EPA and DHA. Both work to support cardiovascular health by maintaining healthy triglyceride levels already within the normal range and supporting blood vessel function for healthy circulation. They also have properties that support post-exercise recovery and joint comfort. EPA and DHA support the health and integrity of cellular membranes as well, which aids intercellular communication, notably in the brain where healthy communication between cells promotes cognitive function. DHA in particular is highly concentrated in the retinas of the eyes, so adequate intake supports healthy vision. Krill oil is also a source of choline and astaxanthin, two highly beneficial ingredients. Choline is needed for neurotransmitter production, a key component of brain and nervous system function. It also promotes healthy liver function and fat metabolism, supports heart health by helping to regulate homocysteine, is important for healthy fetal development and exercise recovery. Astaxanthin offers potent antioxidant protection for healthy aging; skin hydration and elasticity; eye, brain, and nervous system health; as well as fighting exercise-induced oxidative stress. Clinically studied Superba Boost® krill oil is sustainably sourced and fully traceable. It is unique in that it is formulated with up to 50% more phospholipids, which means better cellular integration and utilization. It is also highly concentrated, delivering more EPA and DHA per serving than other krill oil supplements. Swanson Concentrated Krill Oil delivers 1 g of krill oil in each 2-softgel serving, yielding 150 mg EPA and 70 mg DHA.
