Krill Oil — Powerful Support for Your Heart and Brain

Krill oil is a natural product extracted from small marine crustaceans known as krill. These organisms inhabit the cold and pristine waters of Antarctica, one of the most environmentally clean regions on the planet, and play a vital role in maintaining the marine ecosystem.

Krill oil is a rich source of essential Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), which support heart, brain, and joint health. A key feature of this oil is that these Omega-3s are in phospholipid form, ensuring better absorption by the body. Krill oil also contains astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from free radical damage and slows down aging processes.

This product is valued for its ability to support cardiovascular health, prevent the development of atherosclerosis, enhance cognitive function, reduce inflammatory processes in the body, boost immunity, and promote overall well-being.

Mechanism of Action

Unique form of Omega-3: The mechanism of action of krill oil is based on its unique composition. Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), bound to phospholipids, are more easily absorbed by the body. This facilitates their penetration into cell membranes, improving cell fluidity and functionality. This form also allows Omega-3 to be delivered more rapidly to brain and heart tissues, as confirmed by clinical studies (Ulven et al., 2011).

Modulation of inflammatory processes: Omega-3 from krill oil serves as a precursor to anti-inflammatory molecules, such as prostaglandins E3 and leukotrienes B5. These molecules help regulate inflammatory processes, reducing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6) and preventing chronic inflammatory conditions. Clinical studies have shown that krill oil reduces the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), a key marker of inflammation (Deutsch, 2007).

Antioxidant activity: Astaxanthin in krill oil exhibits powerful antioxidant properties, being 6,000 times more potent than vitamin C. It neutralizes free radicals, protects lipids and proteins from oxidation, and stabilizes cell membranes, enhancing their resistance to oxidative stress. Astaxanthin also crosses the blood-brain barrier, providing antioxidant protection to neurons and preventing age-related cognitive impairments (Fassett & Coombes, 2011).

Lipid profile and heart health: Studies confirm that krill oil helps reduce triglycerides and “bad” cholesterol (LDL) while increasing “good” cholesterol (HDL) and improving endothelial function, reducing the risk of atherosclerosis. Clinical data show improved lipid profiles after just 12 weeks of krill oil use (Bunea et al., 2004).

Cognitive health support: DHA, one of the key Omega-3 fatty acids in krill oil, constitutes up to 40% of all fatty acids in the brain. It enhances neuroplasticity, improves signal transmission between neurons, and protects brain cells from age-related changes. Studies have shown that regular DHA intake is associated with improved memory and a reduced risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s (Yurko-Mauro et al., 2010).

Joint health: Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, krill oil reduces joint pain and swelling, improving mobility in people with arthritis. Studies on patients with osteoarthritis have shown a reduction in symptoms within 30 days of use (Deutsch, 2007).

Why choose Keys to Health Krill Oil?

Balanced formula for maximum results: Our formula combines highly purified krill oil with a small amount of anchovy fish oil. This creates an optimal concentration of EPA and DHA, enhancing the product’s effectiveness and ensuring maximum benefits for the body.

Pure and sustainable origin: Krill oil is harvested in accordance with strict sustainability standards regulated by the CCAMLR, ensuring environmental purity. The anchovy fish oil used in the formula is sourced from small cold-water fish, known for their purity and ecological safety. Thanks to their short life cycle and habitat in pristine cold waters, anchovies are an ideal source of high-quality Omega-3.

Maximum natural preservation: The product undergoes no chemical, thermal processing, or deodorization, preserving all natural properties of the active components. The natural “marine” smell indicates the freshness and purity of the oil.

Optimal dosage: Each capsule contains 500 mg of krill oil, including 82.5 mg EPA, 52.5 mg DHA, 100 mcg Phospholipids and 200 mcg Astaxanthin.

Purity and safety: The production process meets strict FDA and GMP standards, ensuring the highest quality and effectiveness of the product.

Softgel form for convenience: Softgel capsules are easy to consume and protect the oil from oxidation, preserving its beneficial properties.
