Krill Oil Benefits

Rhonda explains the unique benefits of krill oil, including the presence of astaxanthin, a carotenoid that protects against UV radiation and oxidative damage to DNA, lipids, and proteins. Astaxanthin is easily absorbed by the bloodstream and can accumulate in cell membranes, protecting polyunsaturated fatty acids like DHA from oxidation. Clinical trials have shown that astaxanthin can lower inflammation, decrease DNA damage, and increase HDL, making it relevant to degenerative diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases.
