Your body is full of essential nutrients that help fuel your cells, tissues and organs for optimum health. One source of endless energy is phospholipids, which help manufacture cell membranes throughout your body. Phospholipids are brain-friendly good fats that help keep your cells functioning by providing a protective membrane around each cell to block out toxins and dangerous free radicals.
The phospholipids found in krill oil play an integral role in memory and cognitive function. The fats found in krill oil (phosphatidylcholine phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylethanolamine) most closely resemble the phospholipids found in your brain that are responsible for maintaining the brain chemical that controls your memory, muscle function, mood, sleep patterns and organs like your heart.
Not only do phospholipids provide brain-boosting power of their own, but when coupled with omega-3s, the krill oil is more absorbable for your brain and your whole bodymaking it superior to fish oil. Why? Because in most fish oil supplements, the omega-3s are attached to triglycerides, but triglycerides are NOT easily absorbed by your body. However, the omega-3s found in krill oil are attached to phospholipids, which are identical to the ones already in your body and your brain.
The results? The brain-saving, brain-boosting phospholipids and omega-3s found in krill oil easily and quickly get to your brains cells for super protection and super memory power. Essentially these phospholipids give your brain the fuel you need to think clearly and effectively. As a bonus, krill oil also supplies your brain with cholinea substance needed for the production of acetylcholine, which helps with increased brain function and memory.
