Faster Absorption, Better Retention

The time of taking a single nutrient vitamin or mineral like Vitamin C or Vitamin E is outdated. Recent studies show conclusively that vitamins and minerals work together in synergy, and if one is inadequately supplied, then the others cannot work very effectively. Vitamins and minerals are the basic foundation of proper nutrition, which keeps the organs working at maximum efficiency and effectiveness. The Physician Desk Reference maintains that pills and capsules absorb into the body at only 10-20%. However, liquids absorb at 90-98%.

NKO Neptune Antarctic Krill Oil

Use this supplement for your better health and to maintain your body at a higher level of performance. Krill oil gets accepted and absorbed into the blood stream more easily than other kinds of fish or flax seed oil. Benefits include helping brain and heart health, people over 40 years old, post pregnancy, PMS relief, children with attention deficit disorder (ADD) and improved cholesterol levels. Krill oil is much better than omega 3 fish oil.

Neptune Antarctic Krill Oil is an excellent source of the powerful antioxidant Astaxanthin and a supplement of the important Omega-3 Fatty Acids. Antarctic Krill Oil provides cardiovascular support and chemoprotective properties. It also helps boost the immune system, increase body energy, protect the retina from oxidative damage, and even prevent neuronal damage associated with age-related macular degeneration.

Phytosomes - Increase the absorption of herbal extracts!

Phytosomes are advanced forms of herbal products that are better absorbed, utilized, and as a result produce better results than conventional herbal extracts. Phytosomes are produced via a patented process whereby the individual components of an herbal extract are bound to phosphatidylcholine - an emulsifying compound derived from soy. Phosphatidylcholine is also one of the chief components of the membranes in our cells.

The Phytosome process has been applied to many popular herbal extracts including Ginkgo biloba, grape seed, hawthorn, milk thistle, green tea, and ginseng. The flavonoid and terpenoid components of these herbal extracts lend themselves quite well for the direct binding to phosphatidylcholine. Specifically, the choline head of the phosphatidylcholine molecule binds to these compounds while the fat-soluble phosphatidyl portion comprising the body and tail then envelopes the choline-bound material. The result is a little micro sphere or cell is produced. The term "phyto" means plant while "some" means cell-like. What the Phytosome process produces is a little cell whereby the valuable components of the herbal extract are protected from destruction by digestive secretions and gut bacteria.


Phytosomes: An Herbal Breakthrough

This information on the patented Enzymatic Therapy's Phytosome™ technology, which combines standardized herbal extracts with tphosphatidylcholine, dramatically improves absorption. Research indicates Phytosomes are absorbed more effectively than non-Phytosome products. With this enhanced delivery, more of the key compounds get where they're needed most-to the cells in your body.
