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.

Krill oil EPA & DHA in PL form

Optimal n-3/n-6 PUFAs ratios allow efficient inflammatory responses that prevent the initiation and progression of many inflammatory conditions. The high concentration of EPA & DHA contained in BioRed® are able to stimulate specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPM) (resolvins, protectins, maresins) which control local inflammation at multiple levels to stimulate resolution of inflammation.

Krill oil Antioxidant abilities

The main antioxidants Phospholipids & Omega-3 in BioRed® are found in high levels & exhibit synergistic antioxidant abilities against oxidative stress that are especially important in antioxidant defences. Oxidative stress and inflammation are implicated in the development and pathogenesis of disease, which krill oil is proven to increase Antioxidant capacities and reduce free radicals and oxidation in patients with Cardiovascular Heart Disease (CHD), Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and more.

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).
