PMS Krill Oil is a novel formula containing clinically proven NKO™ krill oil.
According to the Office on Women's Health, US Department of Health and Human Services, nearly two in five women between 14 and 50 years of age experience some symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS); 10% of which experience symptoms that disrupt their usual daily lives.
What are Krill and where to they come from?
Krill are small shrimp-like crustaceans that can be found in all of the world’s oceans; however the greatest proportion exists in Antarctic waters. Antarctic krill (also known as Euphausia superba) is so plentiful; in fact, it is thought to be one of the most abundant animal species on the planet. The Antarctic female krill can lay up to 10,000 eggs at a time; sometimes several times a season.
What are the active ingredients in Krill and what benefits do they provide?
Considered a delicacy and source of protein by the Japanese, krill offer various essential nutrients including omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), along with natural antioxidants (vitamin A and E, astaxanthin, and “novel marine-source” flavonoids).
Scientists have discovered that the Antarctic krill’s phospholipids (key “protective” component of the cell membrane that contains fatty acids) have a higher concentration of omega-3 EPA and DHA than other krill as found in the Pacific. Antarctic krill’s high fatty acid profile closely resembles that of the human brain’s own phospholipids, therefore it is more easily recognized by the body.
Are all Krill Oils the same?
Twinlab Krill Essentials™ are formulated with specific, clinically-proven amounts of NKO™ krill oil that has been extracted with a patented cold-vacuum process. When other krill oil is exposed to heat or air their natural bonds are destroyed which diminishes its phospholipids and antioxidant value. NKO™ krill oil’s proprietary extraction process preserves the krill’s essential fats (EPA and DHA) and potent antioxidants (astaxanthin and “marine-source” flavonoids) in their natural form, thus being more readily available for utilization by the body.
Twinlab Krill Oil formulas are harvested, processed and tested to be free of PCB and heavy metals. And since NKO™ maintains its inherent potent antioxidants which help to sustain maximum stability of the oil from oxidation – you can expect reduced incidence of “fishy repeats” (burp-ups).
