Swisse High Strength Deep Sea Krill Oil

Krill oil is sourced sustainably from the Southern Ocean and is extracted from the Antarctic Krill, the most abundant marine biomass. Krill oil is a source of omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) for the maintenance of good health. Omega-3, EPA and DHA are also found in phospholipid form which are much easier absorbed than triglyceride form of omega-3 which is found in fish oil. Omega-3 supports cardiovascular health, brain health and eye health. Preliminary research suggests krill oil can provide temporary relief from symptoms of mild arthritis, help reduce joint inflammation and increase joint mobility.
