Antarctic Krill comes from krill - tiny shrimp-like creatures that live in very cold ocean waters. Antarctic Krill contains two types of omega-3 fatty acid: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart (with a daily intake of 250mg). DHA and EPA contribute to the maintenance of normal blood pressure (with a daily intake of 3g of EPA and DHA).* DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal blood triglyceride levels (with a daily intake of 2g of DHA and when taken in combination with EPA).* DHA contributes to maintenance of normal brain function (with a daily intake of 250mg of DHA). DHA contributes to maintenance of normal vision (with a daily intake of 250mg of DHA). *Users should not exceed a supplemental daily intake of 5g of EPA and DHA combined. Antarctic Krill also contains astaxanthin, as well as phospholipids. Astaxanthin is a pigment that belongs to a group of chemicals called carotenoids.
