Benefits of Active Krill.

It contains:

• Long chain Omega 3 fatty acids (EPA och DHA)
• Astaxanthine
• Choline
• Full of amino acids, vitams och minerals.

Absorption

Unique highly concentrated content of Omega 3 that is more easily absorbed by the body. Krill helps maintain a balance between Omega 3,6 and 9 due to the long chain Omega 3 fatty acids (EPA och DHA)

Eyes and brain

DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) en EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) support and improve brain function through their stimulating effect on memory and concentration. Since these fatty acids are a building block of the retina they also support your dogs eyesight.  

Heart

EPA contributes to the normal function of the heart. In addition, these fatty acids help maintain normal fat levels in the blood. Fats in the blood are called triglycerides. If there are to many triglycerides in the blood, they can start to be stored in the walls of blood vessel and in the liver. When this happens and the level of triglycerides becomes elevated, the risk of suffering from cardiovascular disease increases.  

Anti-inflammatory

Omega 3 has an anti-inflammatory effect. Because of this, there is a recommendation to give Omega 3 to dogs that have problems with inflammation and pain in their joints, which can lead to less mobility in the body, such as arthritis. 

Food plays and important role in combating inflammation and with the right additives, you can achieve fantastic results in a natural way. 

Antioxidans including  Astaxanthine

Omega 3 is a good source of antioxidants. But what is an antioxidant? The word already says it: Anti-oxidation. Every day body cells are exposed to oxidation, which results in them aging. Antioxidants are the body´s natural protection against this.

Krill contains Astaxanthine, which is a pigment that acts as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. This antioxidant is 100 times stronger than vitamin E and 10 times more than vitamin C.

The amount of antioxidants can be expressed in a value called ORAC which stands for  Oxygen Radical Absorptance Capacity. Krill oil has a value of 300, which is much higher than, for example salmon (30) och ägg (20).

Astaxantin has been shown to protect the immune system, improve vaccine response and have anti-inflammatory properties.

Choline

Choline is a vitamin-like nutrient related to vitamin B. It is an important component of the fatty substance phospholipids and is used in the body to produce acetylcholine - a cellular signal substance (neurotransmitter) for muscle control, memory and fat metabolism.

Choline is an essential nutrient for dogs and has an impact on healthy brain development, heart health, liver function, muscle function and the nervous system. Like humans, dogs can produce choline; however, not enough to meet the body´s requirements. A dietary supplement is important to avoid choline deficiency.
