Heart-healthy living
Omega-3s are well studied for their overall heart health support including supporting healthy blood pressure, triglycerides, 'good' cholesterol (HDL), and circulation and heart rhythm. Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA & DHA Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. One serving of Kori Krill Oil Multi-Benefit Omega-3 and Kori Krill Oil Mind & Body Omega-3 provides 250 mg of Omega-3 EPA & DHA nutrients, as much as USDA's weekly recommendation.
Healthy Cognitive Function
Kori Krill Oil contains Omega-3 EPA & DHA, two important nutrients for the human brain. Omega-3 EPA seems more influential on mood and behavior, whereas Omega-3 DHA is essential to both prenatal and postnatal brain development. Unlike fish oil, Kori delivers these Omega-3s in their most natural phospholipid form. Phospholipids assist with Omega-3 DHA transfer across the blood brain barrier. A randomized controlled trial with participants taking 285 mg of Omega-3 EPA & DHA from krill oil in healthy elderly individuals suggests that krill oil may support cognitive function after 12 weeks. 1
Joint Health
Omega-3s in Kori Krill Oil support our joints over the course of our lives, supporting joint comfort and flexibility as we age. In a clinical trial, 90 male and female patients each received 300 mg krill oil daily for 30 days. After seven days, krill oil significantly promoted joint comfort (-28.9 %), stiffness (-20.3 %) and function (-22.8 %) in comparison to the placebo group. 2
Champion Eye Health
Omega-3 DHA is found in the highest concentration in the retina, playing an especially important role in keeping our eyes healthy. It also assists in tear production which is important for eye health and managing dry eye. Studies of animals like rodents and primates suggest that consuming Omega-3 fatty acids may help support retinal structure and health. 3, 4, 5
Improve Skin Hydration & Elasticity
Omega-3 fatty acids are important in keeping our skin hydrated and strong. Fatty acids like Omega-3s are needed to maintain the integrity of the skin’s natural protective barrier function against environmental factors and to reduce water-loss through our skin. Shortages of these fatty acids compromise the skin barrier and lead to dry skin. Kori’s krill oil is clinically shown to help improve skin hydration and skin elasticity.
Support Your Immune System
The immune system is a complex and extensive system that is always on, in surveillance mode, working to keep our bodies as healthy as possible. One important immune system response is the inflammatory response. Omega-3 EPA & DHA nutrients in Kori Krill Oil play a very important role to help regulate inflammation in the body, supporting our cellular repair and internal defense systems, and maintaining the normal healthy status quo. This immune role complements the role of other well known immune health nutrients; in fact, evidence suggests that healthy intakes of Vitamin C, D, + Omega-3s may have a more positive impact on immune health than these vitamins alone.
