But that is not all. The so-called phospholipid advantage of krill oil also leads to a <\/span><b>superior transport, delivery and integration<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of these nutrients in your cells and organs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But what exactly is this <\/span><b>phospholipid advantage<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> we keep going on about?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This refers to the molecular structure of the nutrients in krill oil and the way this influences how they travel through our body and how they ultimately enter our cells.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phospholipids are an important part of our<\/span><b> cell membranes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and are part of the barrier between cells which regulate what passes from cell to cell. This impacts not only cell communication, but also their proper functioning and larger processes in our body such as our cognitive health and even our metabolism. This is especially important during the aging process, as the cells get more rigid which reduces their communication.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/norwayomega.ae\/product\/finest-krill-oil-pouch-360-day-supply\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6454\" src=\"http:\/\/norwayomega.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ShopNowKrill-300x166.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"430\" height=\"238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/norwayomega.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ShopNowKrill-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/norwayomega.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ShopNowKrill-510x282.jpg 510w, https:\/\/norwayomega.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ShopNowKrill.jpg 525w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The phospholipids work as a bandwagon that take the omega-3s on board to enter the cells because it renders them soluble in water and therefore making it possible to be<\/span><b> immediately absorbed <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by our body.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In other supplements, the omega-3s take the form of <\/span><b>triglycerides<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which are not water-soluble. They therefore need the \u201chelp\u201d of additional digestive enzymes to be absorbed in our cells, which renders the process a bit slower.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a id=\"conc\"><\/a>Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But why is this a good thing?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, this means that our body is able to absorb the nutrients in krill oil more efficiently because krill oil has a higher so-called \u201c<\/span><b>bioavailability<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d. So the good stuff in krill oil gets to where it is needed faster and in higher concentrations, therefore improving the effects of the supplement on your cardiovascular health for example.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This way, your whole body can benefit from the many positive effects of krill oil in no time!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to find out more about krill oil and fish oil, omega-3 or a healthy lifestyle in general, check out our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/norwayomega.com\/blog\/\"><b>blog<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/norwayomega.com\/shop\"><b>shop<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you can browse our variety of high-quality omega-3 supplements.
