Better Than Fish Oil, See What Happens To Your Body When You Take Krill Oil Everyday

Krill oil is a supplement that is rapidly gaining popularity as an alternative to fish-oil.
It is made from krill, a type of small crustacean consumed by whales, penguins and other sea creatures.
Like fish-oil, it is a source of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), types of omega-3 fats found only in marine sources. They have important functions in the body and are linked to a variety of health benefits.
Here are 5 science-based health benefits of krill-oil.


1.Excellent Source of Healthy Fats
Both krill-oil and fish-oil contain the omega-3 fats EPA and DHA. However, some evidence suggests that the fats found in krill oil may be easier for the body to use than those from fish oil, since most omega-3 fats in fish-oil are stored in the form of triglycerides.
On the other hand, a large portion of the omega-3 fats in krill-oil can be found in the form of molecules called phospholipids, which may be easier to absorb into the bloodstream.

2.Can Help Fight Inflammation
Omega-3 fatty acids like those found in krill oil have been shown to have important anti-inflammatory functions in the body.
In fact, krill-oil may be even more effective at fighting inflammation than other marine omega-3 sources because it appears to be easier for the body to use.
What’s more, krill-oil contains a pink-orange pigment called astaxanthin, which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
A study of 90-people with chronic inflammation found that taking 300-mg of krill oil daily was enough to reduce a marker of inflammation by up to 30% after one month.


3.Could Improve Blood Lipids and Heart Health
Omega-3 fats, and DHA and EPA specifically, are considered heart-healthy.
Research has shown that fish oil may improve blood lipid levels, and krill oil appears to be effective as well. Studies have shown it may be particularly effective at lowering levels of triglycerides and other blood fats.
A recent review of seven studies concluded that krill-oil is effective at lowering “bad” LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, and may increase “good” HDL cholesterol, too.


4.Might Reduce Arthritis and Joint Pain.
Because krill-oil seems to help reduce inflammation, it may also improve arthritis symptoms and joint pain, which often result from inflammation.
In fact, a study that found krill oil significantly reduced a marker of inflammation also found that krill oil reduced stiffness, functional impairment and pain in patients with rheumatoid or osteoarthritis.

5.It’s Easy to Add to Your Routine
Taking krill-oil is a simple way to increase your EPA and DHA intake.
It’s widely available and can be purchased online or at most pharmacies. The capsules are typically smaller than those of fish-oil supplements, and may be less likely to cause belching or a fishy aftertaste.
Krill oil is also typically considered to be a more sustainable choice than fish oil, because krill are so abundant and reproduce quickly. Unlike fish-oil, it also contains astaxanthin.
Health organizations typically recommend an intake of 250–500 mg per day of DHA and EPA combined.

I took krill oil from life extension for my joints, its work for my wife and I

[Bostonharborwater]

I’ve been in construction and have worked out most of my adult life so my joints and tendons were starting to feel the wrath of the abuse. Someone recommended the mega red 4+1. I must say. It has worked really well. My workouts don’t suffer from the pain that they were. My knees feel much better than they did. Give it time to work. It didn’t work over night. I think I noticed the change after a couple weeks.

Is it natural to extract and put things into a pill?

What's the cause of the need of supplements?

Why don't we question everything about the current diet since we have so many sick?

[MissRita]

350mg krill oil is causing me too many trips to bathroom for loose stool. Will I adjust or should I leave alone? Omega 3 gives me stomach pains.

it has pros and cons. Please talk about cons as well if you want to make this a informative video

[rapitisioannis]

keep krill free from occidente capitalism!

[aaronlinton-chambers]

However we need to read medical journals to provide evidence of their benefits. Many medical practitioners do not recommend taking fish oil as medical research has found the benefits to be inconclusive.
