Here is ours: Krill Oil Antarctic (500 mg with EPA, DHA \u0026amp; Astaxanthin, 60 Softgels), made in the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEPA and DHA are the two long-chain omega-3 fats the body genuinely uses, and they carry real, authorised claims: \u003cstrong\u003eDHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and to the maintenance of normal vision\u003c\/strong\u003e (at a 250 mg daily intake of DHA), and \u003cstrong\u003eEPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart\u003c\/strong\u003e (at 250 mg a day). Those are the claims - clear, conditional, and true.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow krill differs from fish oil\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn krill oil, the omega-3 is bound up with \u003cem\u003ephospholipids\u003c\/em\u003e rather than the triglyceride form in standard fish oil - the same form found in our own cell membranes. Krill also naturally carries \u003cstrong\u003eastaxanthin\u003c\/strong\u003e, the red pigment that gives it (and salmon, and flamingos) their colour. Many people find krill easier on the stomach, without the fishy repeat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe bottle, in your hand\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA small soft capsule, once a day with food. A food supplement - it tops up the omega-3 a non-oily-fish diet tends to miss, alongside real meals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHonest caveats\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAllergy warning:\u003c\/strong\u003e krill is a crustacean - if you are allergic to shellfish, this is not for you (try an algae-based omega-3 instead, which is also the vegan route). If you are on blood-thinning medication or due surgery, omega-3 is worth flagging to your doctor. Pregnant or breastfeeding - ask your GP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have read this far, thank you. A small polar shrimp, the omega-3 your diet often misses, told straight - allergy and all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Vitadefence\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelated reading:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/articles\/liposomal-vitamin-d\"\u003eLiposomal vitamin D\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/articles\/what-is-creatine\"\u003eWhat is creatine?\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vitadefence®","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68371283247328,"sku":"KO60","price":21.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/2358\/1408\/files\/AntarcticKrillOilv3_KO60_3pp-1panel_FP200ML_front.png?v=1793552793","url":"https:\/\/www.carouselstore.co.uk\/products\/krill-oil-antarctic","provider":"Carousel Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
