To get the most out of its benefits, we recommend taking at least 250 mg of EPA and DHA a day. You reach (and exceed) this dosage with two softgels of Omega 3 Krill Oil a day, which provide you with 260 mg of EPA and DHA

In particular, you can take the softgels like this:

• After lunch: one softgel of Omega 3 Krill Oil
• After dinner: one softgel of Omega 3 Krill Oil

N.B.: If you are going through a mentally intense period or want to give your eyesight more support, you can take up to 6 softgels of Omega 3 Krill Oil during the day (always with your main meals)

Length of the course with Omega 3 Krill Oil, the omega 3 food supplement

You will notice the benefits after just a few days. We recommend continuing the course for three months to consolidate the results achieved and maintain them over time.

Each time you finish a month of treatment, we suggest taking a 2/3-day break before starting the following month. This short break will make the treatment even more effective!

Maintenance phase

Take one softgel a day with one of your two main meals, keeping the 2/3-day breaks between one month and the next.

If you like, give us a call at the end of the course! We care about you and want to know how you got on.

Together with our experts you will work out how to approach the following period to maintain the results achieved!

On its own, Omega 3 Krill Oil already gives you excellent results. If you want to make its action even more complete, you can combine it with:

• Liposan Forte New Formula and Organic Acai Juice, for a more targeted action in keeping cholesterol and triglycerides under control;
• Glutatione Forte, which provides Reduced Glutathione and Quercetin at the maximum daily amounts, as well as Naringenin, Selenium and OxiP®: a mix of natural ingredients with an antioxidant action;
• Epasal, a food supplement based on standardised dry extracts that help cleanse the liver;
• Pausanorm Forte, to support women during the menopause;
• Sanaos New Formula, its actives are particularly suitable for supporting the functions of joints and ligaments;
• DKE + Magnesio, the food supplement that also supports the wellbeing of bones and the immune system.

Omega 3s are “essential” fatty acids, important for our wellbeing ^[15], which cannot be produced by our body.

That is why it is important to take them in through diet and supplementation.

Through diet we can take them in, but only up to a point. Since they are found above all in fish, a noble food, we would have to eat truly large amounts of it, and constantly!

And when it comes to supplementation, too, the picture is not entirely clear.

Indeed, we have always been convinced that the best source of Omega 3s is fish oil.

In reality, Fish Omega 3s have characteristics that limit their effectiveness because:

• they have a chemical structure that makes it difficult for them to enter cells,
• they are more likely to contain heavy metals,
• they are difficult to digest and often leave a fishy aftertaste,
• they often come enclosed in animal gelatine pearls, that is, obtained from the bones, skin and nails of cattle or sheep.

For all these reasons it is preferable to turn to other sources of supply, and Krill Oil is the perfect answer because it fully satisfies the body's needs and, as Omega 3 Krill Oil, respects the environment.

Research on Omega 3s is truly extensive. Here we report some of the most relevant studies, not only on Krill Omega 3s but also on Choline and Astaxanthin, two substances naturally present in Krill Oil that have amply demonstrated their effectiveness.

In this study, researchers set out to explore the role of Krill Omega 3s in the control of blood lipids. After the trial, the scientists concluded that krill oil supplementation can normalise the levels of cholesterol, triglycerides and low-density lipoproteins (LDL).

In this study, researchers showed that the EPA and DHA contained in krill oil have an average latency of 72 hours in the body after administration, and confirmed the hypothesis that phospholipid forms are more easily absorbed than triglyceride (fish-derived) forms.

In this study, researchers assessed the associations between the intake of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and various stages of age-related macular degeneration. The study's conclusion is that higher intakes of EPA and DHA may prevent or delay the onset of these conditions.

In this study, researchers set out to assess the influence of krill oil ingestion on cognitive function in elderly subjects. Another Omega 3 oil, in triglyceride form, was used as a comparison. The study concludes that both types of Omega 3 can sustain cognitive function in the elderly, but to a much greater extent in the subjects who used Krill Omega 3s. This is thanks to the greater bioavailability of the phospholipid form compared with the triglyceride form.

The aim of this study was to assess the impact of Krill Omega 3s in managing the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhoea. 70 women of childbearing age with amenorrhoea and premenstrual syndrome according to the DSM-III-R took part in the study. At the end of the study, all 70 patients showed a statistically significant improvement in their symptoms.

This important study reports how Choline can be considered useful in a great many areas of health and wellbeing: pregnancy, cognitive function, inflammation, cardiovascular problems. The researchers conclude with a call to raise awareness among healthcare professionals that choline can play an important role as a functional nutrient in various physiological conditions.
