In krill oil, the vital omega-3 fatty acids are bound to so-called phospholipids. This is unique in nature. Thanks to the phospholipids, the healthy fatty acids can be absorbed more easily by the human body. Phospholipids are therefore a kind of “utilization aid” for omega-3 fatty acids. In this way, they enter the bloodstream directly from the liver and are immediately available to the body.
Phospholipids perform many important tasks in the human body. The body of an adult human is composed of about 100,000 billion cells, with the outer layer, the cell membrane, consisting largely of phospholipids. Together with proteins, they protect the cell from harmful influences.
The cell membranes of our brain contain a particularly large number of phospholipids They are similar to those in krill oil and can therefore be particularly well absorbed and used. A big advantage of krill oil compared to other omega-3 sources is the easy digestibility, which is promoted by the naturally contained phospholipids.
