Enzymotec's K•Real Makes Blood Pressure Health Claim

29 Apr 2015 --- Enzymotec has introduced the only krill oil with low sodium levels as defined by European health authorities, it says.

Many people get too much sodium in their diet. This is easy to do without even realizing it, given that most processed and prepared foods contain sodium. High sodium intake is associated with higher blood pressure, which is the leading cause of cardiovascular diseases, particularly strokes and heart attacks. Cutting back on sodium in the diet is a simple way to reduce the risk of heart disease.

"Enzymotec is consistently bringing the highest quality and safety standards to the krill oil industry as well as delivering innovative advantages to our customers. This unique development enables our customers to label K•Real krill oil products in Europe as Low Sodium or use the following health claim: ‘Reducing consumption of sodium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood pressure’,” says Dr. Ariel Katz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Enzymotec Ltd.

K•Real krill oil is manufactured through a specialized and proprietary technology called Multi Stage Oil extraction (MSO), developed by Enzymotec, which assures high quality oil and superior organoleptic properties compared to other commercially available products, as well as lower sodium levels.
