Wikipedia Information
Krill Oil

Krill oil (derived from a shrimp-like creature inhabiting cold waters of the Antarctic Ocean) has clinically demonstrated the ability to protect the heart, act as an anti-inflammatory, alleviate premenstrual syndrome, improve skin health, and support well-being.

Krill oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids which are among the most researched nutrients and are acclaimed for their heart-healthy properties. However, krill oil is distinct from other marine oils in that these omega-3 fatty acids are attached to phospholipids, which act as superior delivery systems. In addition, it contains a powerful antioxidant known as astaxanthin, which imbues the oil with exceptional protection against oxidation and rancidity — a property that does not exist in any fish oil or in any pharmaceutical grade omega-3 product or concentrated esters.

Krill Oil Health Benefits

Anti-Inflammatory Effects

In a study published in June 2010, it was found that krill oil may be a useful intervention strategy against signs of inflammatory arthritis. An earlier study in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition tested the effectiveness of krill oil (300 mg daily) in comparison to a placebo and found that krill oil was effectively reduced symptoms of arthritis and inflammation. Even if you donÕt have arthritis, krill oil may help reduce back and joint pains and swelling.

Healthy Cholesterol Regulation

A high level of LDL (that is "bad" cholesterol) is bad because it indicates a greater risk of heart disease. In a study on the effects of krill oil on cholesterol levels of 120 people who were tested by administering krill oil, fish oil or a placeboÑit was found that krill oil lowered LDL cholesterol by 34% and boosted HDL ("good") cholesterol by 43.5% compared to the placebo. Surprisingly fish oil reduced LDL cholesterol by a mere 4.6% and increased HDL cholesterol by 4.2%.

Brain Development and Functions

The omega-3 fatty acids and choline are important for normal brain development and brain functions. The beneficial impact of both these nutrients appears to improve cognition, memory, mood and behavior.

Mental Health

Some studies show the regular intake of EPA and DHA may help those who suffer from mood swings, depression and other related mental disorders.

PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome)

There is some evidence that suggests two grams of krill oil a day may relieve symptoms of PMS.

Skin Health

Eczema is common skin ailment that can be the result of fatty acid imbalance. Krill oil, since it contains a greater amount of omega 3 fatty acids is more effective than fish oil in curing eczema. It has also been found to make skin healthier.

Helps Fight Signs of Aging

Krill oil contains the antioxidant vitamins, A and E along with astaxanthin. These help fight free radical activity in the body.

Krill Oil Research Articles' Conclusions

CONCLUSION: The results of the present study demonstrate within high levels of confidence that krill oil is effective for the management of hyperlipidemia by significantly reducing total cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides, and increasing HDL levels. At lower and equal doses, krill oil was significantly more effective than fish oil for the reduction of glucose, triglycerides, and LDL levels.

CONCLUSION: Neptune Krill Oil can significantly reduce dysmenorrhea and the emotional symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and is shown to be significantly more effective for the complete management of premenstrual symptoms compared to omega-3 fish oil.

CONCLUSION: The results of the present study clearly indicate that NKOTM at a daily dose of 300 mg significantly inhibits inflammation and reduces arthritic symptoms within a short treatment period of 7 and 14 days.
