Neubria Advanced Omega-3 from Antarctic Krill Oil

Are you:

Not always getting the recommended weekly amount of oily fish in your diet?

Concerned about the sustainability and sourcing of fish, both to eat and for fish oils?

Looking to support not just your brain but good heart and eye health?

Oily fish has well-documented benefits for brain health, but two-thirds of us are not eating the recommended 60 g a week. This means we're missing out on the valuable contribution that the omega fatty acids, particularly omega 3, play in optimal brain function as well as in healthy hearts and eyes.

A superior source of omega-3.

High levels of EPA and DHA.

100% sustainable source.

Naturally GMO-free.

Oily fish is the only reliable dietary source of omega 3 fatty acids DHA and EPA. They help to enhance both our ability to learn and our memory. Most of us are not eating the recommended amount of oily fish to get these benefits, though.

We get it. Putting the right amount of oily fish into our meal plans might feel excessive. Heck, some weeks, we're nowhere near putting together a meal plan! We're lucky if we remember to pick something up for dinner. And what if you just don't like fish? Or only on occasion, wrapped in hot, crispy batter?

Then there's the questions over the sustainability of the fishing industry. So now we've got to think about not only eating the right fish but making sure it's been fished sustainably. On top of everything else in our lives, that can be just one of those things that fall by the wayside. 

With our focus on brain health at Neubria as a key part of total wellness, we wanted to find the most sustainable way to create a marine omega-3 supplement. That's why we chose Krill. 

Krill Oil offers an eco-friendly alternative to eating fish that performs even better. It is fast-absorbing and naturally non-GMO too. Responsibly sourced from the Antarctic, it is traceable back to the point where the Krill are harvested.

No surprises here that Neubria Krill is mainly krill oil. But we've enhanced the benefits of the krill oil with other natural ingredients, based on the research of our experts.

Krill Oil

Human studies into the benefits of Krill Oil showed increased blood levels of DHA and EPA. With krill oil being a more sustainable material, it gives the benefits of getting the right amount of omega-3 fatty acids into your diet but in an environmentally responsible way.

Choline

Already widely prescribed in Europe as CDP choline for its positive effect on mood, citicoline studies are also looking at its memory benefits. The results have been positive across several studies for enhancing brain performance. 

Astaxanthin

A powerful antioxidant, astaxanthin, helps support the body's cells from free radical damage, which has been linked to the ageing process.

Taking 2 Krill capsules a day (or as advised by any healthcare professional) will help support your long term brain, heart and eye health. You should take Krill on a full stomach with a glass of water.    

Supplements aren't short term answers, though, and aren't a replacement for a healthy, balanced approach to life. 

The other things we can all do to boost our brain and heart health include:

Get a good night's sleep - Sleep is arguably the most powerful tool in maintaining physical and mental health. Getting the right amount of sleep helps complete the full cycle of nocturnal processes that help your body and brain function at their best when you're awake. Between seven and nine hours is the recommended amount of sleep required by an adult for the mind and body to fully rest and function at its best. Resist the box set and stop the scrolling. Tomorrow, you'll be pleased you did.

Keep ourselves well hydrated - water plays a huge role in brain health and function. If we don't drink enough water, it can affect our concentration, memory, and learning ability. Even the slightest amount of dehydration can have an impact on all those things and our mood. Good things to drink include water and unsweetened herbal or green tea. Both caffeine and alcohol are dehydrating and can affect our sleep patterns. About two litres of water a day is a good target to aim for.

Get stress under control - Our levels of hormones such as cortisol remain consistently high when we're feeling stressed. These heightened levels of hormones produced as part of our flight or fight response contribute to mood swings and anxiety, poor concentration and memory problems. No wonder we feel less than positive, and it's not great for our brain health either.

Get active - physical activity is just as crucial for our brain health as it is for the rest of our physical and mental health. It doesn't have to be strenuous to be good for you. The Ancient Greeks made the connection between walking and better thinking. Researchers have proved that outdoor activity increases our vitality, enthusiasm, pleasure and self-esteem. It also helps to lower tension, fatigue and depression. So if you can fit nothing else in, get a walk outside and feel the benefits.

Give ourselves a mental workout – whether you're into crosswords, word searches or use a specific brain training programme, it's all good stimulus for your brain. But did you know that craft hobbies such as woodwork and sewing also work wonders for your brain? And writing yourself a list or note, rather than tapping it into a device, means there's a better chance that you'll remember what you've written.

Practice meditation, tai chi or yoga - all of these have been shown to provide significant mind-body benefits. Combine them with any of the other suggestions, and you're beginning to have a real brain health routine, not to mention the other physical and mental benefits.
