What you should know about BioRed

®

Why packaging is important?

Krill oil is highly sensitive to heat and moisture and it can absorb moisture from its environment due to the rich phospholipids content, which can cause it to breakdown rapidly.

As krill oil is highly perishable, a high oxygen barrier in the packaging can help preserve long term freshness and prevent oxidation. As BioRed® capsules also have an enhanced resistance towards oxygen permeating the capsules, it is not necessary to flush the headspace in the bottle.

BioRed® capsules use special gelatine shells which are better at controlling moisture loss, and a well-fitting airtight closure, that prevents environmental humidity from penetrating through any gaps between the containers closure.

Resolving inflammation

BioRed® has been shown to have anti-inflammatory, pro-resolving and also antioxidant abilities due to its rich Phospholipid and Omega-3 content, and Astaxanthin. There has been a growing scientific rationale for treatment of inflammatory diseases using dietary Phospholipids & Omega-3 to regulate the Inflammatory reactions.

What to expect with BioRed

Lipid Regulation

Phosphatidylcholine plays a critical role in ensuring a proper balance of cholesterol in the cells(12). The lipid modifying effects of krill oil are known to be Cardioprotective. Krill oil was able to increase HDL more significantly than statins and with less side effects(15).

Heart and Inflammation

Antarctic Krill oil has strong antioxidant activities and is effective in alleviating heart disease and has been shown to be able to reduce oxidative stress in cardiovascular heart disease patients(16).

Alzheimer’s Disease

Optimal levels of Omega-3 can prevent/reverse the pathological conditions of Alzheimer’s Disease. Dietary Omega-3 in Phosphatidylcholine form can decrease the risk of Alzheimer's Disease by increasing Omega-3 supply by bypassing the faulty transporters of Omega-3 in the brain, especially in elderly individuals with genetic risk of Alzheimer’s Disease(14).

Brain Health and Cognitive function

Phosphatidylcholine bound to Omega-3 in krill oil made it more effective in activating brain function in the elderly and was significantly greater than fish oil(6).

Joint Health and Chronic Inflammation

Oral Phosphatidylcholine pretreatment had beneficial effects on characteristics of chronic arthritis(11). Krill oil was able to suppress pro-inflammatory lipid mediators and slow down osteoarthritis progression(5).

The administration of phosphatidylcholine and omega-3 rich krill oil is reported to mitigate pain and stiffness significantly due to the reduced inflammation in patients with osteoarthritis.

Eye Health

Phosphatidylcholine is the main transporter of Omega-3 in the eyes. Dietary Omega-3 is the main antioxidants found in the eyes and protects against retinal disease.

Dry Eyes

Krill oil is recommended as an anti-inflammatory intervention for dry eye disease, improving signs & symptoms compared to placebo, and may slow down its progression(17).

BioRed® Q & A

What is the safe recommended dose of BioRed® softgel capsules?

For adults take 1 softgel twice daily before or after meals or as instructed by your doctor or pharmacist. Do not take more than 4g per day.

What are the side effects of BioRed®?

BioRed® softgel capsules are well tolerated and easily absorbed and easy to swallow. It has a long safety and tolerability record of safe consumption. Do not take more than 4g per day.

Is BioRed® safe for children?

BioRed® softgel capsules have not been specifically developed for children and they may be difficult to swallow. Consult with your child’s physician before taking BioRed® softgel capsules.

Is BioRed® safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding women?

It is approved by EFSA in 2014 for pregnant and lactating women. Consult your doctor before taking if pregnant or lactating & do not take more than 450mg of Omega-3/day.

Can high doses of Omega-3 cause arrhythmias?

It is always advisable to consult your doctor or pharmacist regarding medical conditions. Current evidences by the NIH suggests that doses of Omega-3 up to 1g/day is safe and does not support a clinical detectable pro-arrhythmatic effect (13).

Can high doses of Omega-3 cause bleeding problems?

Consult with your doctor before taking BioRed® if you have underlying conditions. It is advisable to follow the recommended guidelines for safe recommended doses. It has been reported that long term supplementation intakes of EPA and DHA combined up to about 5g/day does not increase the risk of bleeding even in subjects at high risk of bleeding (e.g. taking acetylsalicylic acid or anti coagulants). (EFSA Journal 2012;10(7):2815)
