New Neptune Krill Oil Blend Supports Brain And Vision Health

05 Dec 2014 --- Neptune Technologies & Bioressources has introduced NKO Focus to support brain and vision health. Utilizing Neptune Krill Oil (NKO) as the core ingredient, NKO Focus includes several ingredients, including Lutein Esters. When combined with NKO, a clinical trial showed Lutein’s absorption improved by as much as eight times than a generic counterpart.

Additionally, NKO Focus offers proven brain health support, including up to seven times more astaxanthin than other krill oils, as well as three percent of the daily value of choline—a precursor of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter for memory. NKO Focus also contains DHA and phospholipids, known to support healthy brain function. Neptune added high potency Vitamin A, Thiamine (vitamin B1) and Lutein Esters which help maintain eye health, normal vision and cognitive function.

“We took the ‘original’ NKO and gave it a boost, targeting brain and vision health,” said Jacqueline Khayat, Neptune’s Sales Director. “This is the first krill oil blend to offer such a powerful delivery mechanism to support brain and vision health. NKO is the perfect vehicle to increase bioavailability of other ingredients.”

In addition to enhancing Lutein uptake, NKO Focus contains the heart-healthy Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids EPA and DHA in a phospholipid form, which supports more efficient digestion, absorption and utilization.
