Antarctic Krill Oil is the Best Fish Oil

Antarctic Krill Oil is a nearly perfect recipe put out by nature. It is the best fish oil known. It has nearly everything important to people to sustain their health through all the stressful times. It is a rich source of omega 3 fatty acids. NKO Krill Oil (Neptune Krill Oil) is many times better than standard fish oil for what most people are looking for when taking fish oil. It has nearly 48 time the antioxidant capability of fish oils.

Lets cut straight to the good stuff. Krill oil is being studied as a natural remedy for high cholesterol. In one study, 120 people were given krill oil, fish oil or a placebo. Krill oil reduced LDL (commonly referred to as "bad") cholesterol by 34% and increased HDL ("good") cholesterol by 43.5% compared to the placebo. In comparison, regular fish oil reduced LDL cholesterol by 4.6% and increased HDL cholesterol by 4.2%. Krill also lowered triglycerides.

Amazing numbers? I certainly think so. Compare these numbers to the benefits you are getting from a statin drug, if you happen to be taking a statin. Krill oil has very similar benefits without the added problem of stripping your body of CoQ10. Stain drugs are under fire right now due to stripping CoQ10 from our bodies. CoQ10 is important for all muscles in our body and are in particular concentration in the heart. Does it make sense to reduce cholesterol in our bodies for the well being of our heart yet strip CoQ10 from our heart muscle? Many doctors believe the loss of CoQ10 from statins is leading the way to congestive heart failure.

Currently, krill oil production is very limited throughout the world. I am particularly impressed with the krill oil being produced by Neptune Technologies, commonly referred to as Neptune Krill Oil.

The most important piece of this puzzle is the phospholipids found in the oil. Every individual cell in your body needs proper phospholipids to remain healthy, and enough for the cell to be able to fight against oxidative stress and all toxins circulating our bodies that are trying to damage our health. The phospholipids found in Neptune Krill oil have the highest concentrations of omega 3 fatty acids found anywhere on the market. Unless you have been out of touch for the past many years, you know omega 3 fatty acids are vital to good health.

Krill oil is also extremely high in antioxidants. Not only does it keep the krill oil from becoming rancid, it helps keep our bodies young. Astaxanthin is one of the most potent antioxidants known and Neptune Krill oil is a rich source for this important antioxidant. Astaxanthin is a carotenoid which has been proven to fight aging.

Prementraul syndrome impacts 85% of women today. Krill oil has been shown to alleviate the problems associated with prementrual syndrome. Krill oil contains nearly 15 times the omega 3 fatty acids as opposed to omega 6. This is a very important ratio. Omega 6, and the dominance of omega 6 in most of our diets, produces the inflammatory hormones that contribute to the pain and bloating. Omega 3 is a natural anti-inflammatory where omega 6 tends to produce the opposite effect.

Back to the antioxidants found in krill oil. Astaxanthin is naturally found in the algae that krill eat exclusively. The astaxanthin found in krill is also 100% esterfied meaning our bodies can metabolize it entirely. We get the maximum benefit of this astaxanthin. Normally, we only see 50% utilization of antioxidants. Neptune Krill oil is the exception.

Additionally, astaxanthin crosses the blood brain barrier and early results using Neptune Krill Oil on children with ADD and dislexia have been promising.

Astaxanthin is to thank for the amazing cholesterol improvements in people that take krill oil-particularly the LDL levels. The astaxanthin prevents the oxidation of LDLs and your body therefore calls for less cholesterol.

Recommended dosing for krill oil is three 500 mg softgels each day for the first two weeks and reducing to a maintenance dose of two softgels per day there after. An extremely petite person may start with only 2 softgels each day. Remember, Krill oil is non-toxic so there is really no such thing as overdosing on krill oil. However, remember it is absorbed more readily by our bodies than regular fish oil so you don't need near the dose of krill oil that you might normally take of fish oil.
