Contains vitamin E, A, D and astaxanthin48 times more Oxygen Radical Absorptent than fish oilThis is a sustainably-sourced and pollution free supplement. Krill are shrimp-like crustaceans which feed on algae and are caught from the cleaner Antarctic ocean. The oil that is extracted from them consists of three components:- Omega-3 fatty acids similar to those of fish oil- Omega-3 fatty acids attached (conjugated) to phospholipids, mainly phosphatidylcholine (alternatively referred to as marine lecithin)- Astaxanthin, an antioxidant. Unlike many other antioxidants, astaxanthin crosses the blood-brain barrier, where it could theoretically protect the eye, brain and central nervous system from free radical damage.What's particularly special about Krill Oil is that its omega-3 content is mainly in the omega-3 phospholipid form, which research suggests is a preferred dietary supplement when compared to omega-3 in triglyceride form (found in fish and cod liver oils). The phospholipid form is more stable and the naturally occurring antioxidant astaxanthin helps this stabilisation further. The typical Western diet is very low in Omega 3 and even lower in Omega 3 from phospholipids. Krill Oil also contains the other fatty acids essential fatty acids Omega’s 6 and 9. It is very stable and will last two years at room temperature. This particular brand has been selected for its high quality and purity; for the unique delivery system and its bioavailability; and for its natural fish gelatine capsules.
Possible Drug InteractionsPeople taking blood thinners (anticoagulant or anti-platelet medication), such as aspirin, warfarin (Coumadin), heparin, clopidogrel (Plavix), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDS) such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), naproxen (Naprosyn, Aleve) should only use krill oil under a physician's supervision. Krill oil should also be used with caution by people taking herbs and supplements that are thought to increase the risk of bleeding, such as ginkgo biloba and garlic. Do not take if allergic to shellfish.

Free radicals are oxygen atoms deficient in electrons that become highly reactive, potentially causing damage to your tissues and DNA. This is a large part of the body’s aging. One nutrient that can help you limit free radical production is Co Q10. Another very important reason for using a Co Q10 supplement is to help boost your body's cellular energy production. Co Q10 helps facilitate the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy "currency for all your cells.”
There are standard Co Q10 supplements available on this website. Your body requires the reduced form of Co Q10 (ubiquinol) to help you limit free radical production (Co Q10 by itself is also known as ubiquinone). If you are younger than 25, your body is capable of converting Co Q10 from the oxidised to the reduced form, so a standard Co Q10 supplement is extremely useful. The problem is that as you become older, your body becomes more and more challenged to convert the oxidized Co Q10 to ubiquinol. With this supplement, you now can have the ubiquinol formula direct – Co Q10 in its active state, just as your body requires it.
As with all Mercola products, this is a high quality 100% all-natural non-synthetic formula designed for maximum purity and absorption.

There is one simple no-cost lifestyle change that could lead to a reduction in infections and the risk of mortality from virtually any disease. This change is to simply get more sun. The direct exposure of skin to sunlight provides your body with vitamin D. As many as 60 percent of the UK population is Vitamin D deficient. The number of diseases impacted by vitamin D levels is rising rapidly. There are now over 800 scientific studies that verify vitamin D’s effectiveness in the prevention and treatment of diseases such as cancer, autism, diabetes, osteoporosis, heart disease, obesity, depression; in fact, practically every illness and disease under the sun. It is also vital for the proper absorption of calcium and the use of phosphorus to form healthy bones and teeth. (To help you understand the issues and enjoy optimal health, we have produced a full article about vitamin D and safe sun exposure) – you can read that by copying and pasting this address into your browser: www.nutrivital.co.uk/articles/sunshine-friend-or-foeIncidence of cancer increases the further away from the equator you look, because the sunshine gets sparser. If you are not getting at least 30 minutes of sun directly on a large proportion of your skin every day because of where you live, your lifestyle, or the season, you may want to consider supplementing with a high quality vitamin D such as this. In cases of acute infection, it can also be used in higher doses for short periods.Mercola Vitamin D Spray is a high quality vitamin D3 supplement (not the more common but inferior D2). Doses are delivered by an advanced nano-spray mechanism, to help with absorption.

As we become older, we are more likely to become deficient in Vitamin B12. Two ways that you can become deficient in vitamin B12 are; not getting enough B12 in your diet and poor absorption.
Vitamin B12 is useful for helping to maintain normal energy levels, promoting healthy neurological activity, including mental alertness, supporting normal homocysteine levels for healthy cardiac function, helping to ease occasional stress and sleeplessness, maintaining healthy cell growth and repair, promoting normal immune function and supporting normal metabolism of carbohydrates and fats. When your blood levels of vitamin B12 are low, one or more of these functions may be disrupted.
