the phospholipid advantage
Krill Oil Omega-3 nutrients naturally have an active phospholipid complex form our bodies prefer and that provides more benefits over other omega-3 sources such as:
-
Superior Absorption
-
BETTER DIGESTED
-
more nutrients where needed
-
no fishy aftertaste
an active phospholipid complex
A phospholipid molecule consists of two fatty acids, which are long chains of carbon and hydrogen molecules. The are attached to a glycerol backbone that further links to a phosphate group such as choline.
PHOSPHOLIPIDS ARE IN EVERY HUMAN CELL
Phospholipids are the main component of all our cell membranes. Cell membranes provide protection for our cells and one of the most important roles of the cell membrane is to transport nutrients in but also transport waste and toxins out to keep the cell healthy.
HEALTHY CELL
Healthy cells are full of quality phospholipids with high Omega-3 content, enabling them to keep tissues and organs functioning properly to prevent against illness and disease.
UNHEALTHY CELL
Unhealthy cell membranes are are lacking in quality phospholipids and have low Omega-3 content, leaving them unequipped to absorb nutrients or eliminate waste.
Superior Absorption
Krill oil Omega-3s with phospholipids are readily absorbed and transported to cell membranes. Krill Oil is unlike other sources of Omega-3s like Fish oil which deliver Omega-3s nutrients in triglyceride or ethyl ester form.
Omega-3s in triglyceride form need to be emulsified by bile in the digestive system before they can be absorbed. However, phospholipids don't need bile to emulsify and are ready for fast absorption.
BETTER DIGESTION & NO FISHY AFTERTASTE
Phospholipids are the reason why there is no fishy aftertaste with krill oil. Phospholipids are amphiphilic in nature. They have both hydrophilic [water loving) and hydrophobic (water repelling) parts. Krill oil Omega-3s mix well with water, so krill oil mixes with the stomach contents and doesn't sit on top. Omega-3s delivered in triglyceride form are hydrophobic and do not mix well with water so they can sit on top of the juices in the stomach making them more likely to cause a fishy reflux.
MORE NUTRIENTS WHERE YOUR BODY NEEDS THEM
Phospholipids play an important role in delivering Omega-3s to vital organs such as the brain, heart, liver and joints. Research suggests that phospholipid-bound Omega-3s (in the EPA & DHA form] are more efficiently incorporated into red blood cell membranes and delivered to the places that need it most. Phospholipid Omega-3s are directly transported to the liver and distributed to all the cells in the body. Triglyceride Omega-3s cannot enter the liver directly and must take a longer route via the lymphatic system where many are lost along the way.
