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 the course, we suggest taking a 2-3 day break before starting the following month. This short break will make the course 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 active ingredients are particularly suitable for supporting the function 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’s why it is important to obtain them through diet and supplementation.

We can get them from our diet, but only up to a point. Since they are found mainly in fish, a prized food, we would have to eat a great deal of it, and all the time!

And when it comes to supplementation, the situation is not entirely clear either.

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

In reality, Omega 3s from fish have characteristics that limit their effectiveness, because they:

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

For all these reasons it is preferable to turn to other sources, and Krill Oil is the perfect answer because it fully meets the body’s needs and, in the form of 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, the researchers set out to investigate the role of Krill Omega 3s in blood lipid control. After the trial, the scientists concluded that krill oil supplementation can normalise levels of cholesterol, triglycerides and low-density lipoproteins (LDL).

In this study, the 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 absorbed more easily than triglyceride forms (from fish).

In this study, the 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 concluded that higher intakes of EPA and DHA may prevent or delay the onset of these conditions.

In this study, the researchers set out to assess the influence of krill oil intake on cognitive function in elderly subjects. Another Omega 3 oil in triglyceride form was used for comparison. The study concludes that both types of Omega 3 can support cognitive function in older people, but to a much greater extent in the subjects who took Krill Omega 3. 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 effect of Krill Omega 3s on the management of the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhoea. The study involved 70 women of childbearing age with dysmenorrhoea and premenstrual syndrome according to the DSM-III-R. 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 and cardiovascular problems. The researchers conclude by calling for greater awareness among healthcare professionals that choline can play an important role as a functional nutrient in various physiological conditions.
