Krill Oil for Health
July 15th, 2009
Krill oil supplements combine powerful antioxidants and Omega-3s to give you optimal health-enhancing benefits. Krill oil provides health support to many organs and systems in the body, including the joints, immune system, liver, nervous system, heart, and brain.
Krill are shrimp-like crustaceans. Oil extracted from these crustaceans contains important Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oils, such as EPA and DHA. Compared to fish oil supplements, krill oil has the added benefit of having the health-boosting astaxanthin antioxidant and vitamins A and D.
Research indicates that krill oil’s EPA and DHA have a higher bodily absorption capacity at a lower daily dose level than other marketed nutraceutical and pharmaceutical Omega-3 formulations. Krill oil contains protective phospholipids, which have proven cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory benefits such as increasing HDL (good cholesterol) and decreasing LDL (bad cholesterol).
Omega-3 phospholipids help cell membranes to function and also protect cells. Phospholipids are presently being developed for the treatment of chronic cardiovascular conditions. As a major component of cell membranes, phospholipids are essential for cell processes. They are one of the basic constituents of HDL.
Krill oil can reduce total cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides while increasing HDL. At a low daily dosage, krill oil is more effective than fish oil in both reducing LDL and increasing HDL. It is among one of the most effective products for the regulation of blood lipids without the required high dose of fish oil.
Heart health, joints and skin health are enhanced and strengthened with krill oil. A daily dose can also sharpen mental alertness and reduce menstrual discomfort.
The body requires added nutrient supplements as we age. A krill oil daily supplement can ensure optimal well being and health. Krill oil can boost immunity and contains a significantly higher level of antioxidants than fish oil.
As a source of essential fatty acids (EFAs), krill oil is absorbed by the body easily. EFAs provide a range of health benefits and can boost the body’s fat burning capacity which can aid in weight loss.
