Study intended: which supplement?
Dear Francesca,
In your daughter's case I recommend Omegor krill, indicated in cases of stress, poor memory, mental and physical fatigue. For those facing intense professional, school and sports commitments. Omegor Krill is a supplement of omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, choline and astaxanthin from krill oil. Krill (Euphasia superba) is a small crustacean that makes up the zooplankton of cold Antarctic waters, where it constitutes one of the largest existing biomasses. It occupies the lowest rung of the food chain and for this reason does not accumulate pollutants, ensuring high purity of its by-products. Krill feeds on microscopic algae that are its primary source of omega-3 and the antioxidant astaxanthin.
The omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA help maintain adequate levels of the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, improving memory and mental acuity and reducing the processes of neurocerebral degeneration. In addition, omega-3 fatty acids are in phospholipid form, which is an even more absorbable and bioavailable form that allows it to be effective even at lower doses than fish oils. Choline, as phosphatidylcholine enters the composition of cell membranes and is involved in the process of nerve impulse transmission. It increases brain acetylcholine concentration, improving memory impairment in young as well as elderly subjects.
It is a rich source of organic phosphorus in directly assimilable form. One of the preferred transporters of DHA in cells of the nervous system. Astaxanthin is a carotenoid responsible for the characteristic red color of krill oil; it is a natural antioxidant maintains the freshness of krill oil and protects omega-3 fatty acids from oxidation. Astaxanthin is able to cross the blood-brain and blood-retinal barriers (powerful antioxidant effect at the level of the nervous system).
For your daughter, I recommend 3-4 capsules per day of Omegor Krill near main meals, preferably in the first part of the day (breakfast and lunch). I recommend that your daughter continue taking the supplement throughout the intended study period.
Sincerely,
Beatrice Iozzino, pharmacist
