Assuming that you are aware of the importance of Omega 3
Fatty Acids, I'm going to introduce you to a superior source which has
recently come to my attention.
Krill are small shrimp that feed the world's most massive animals, the
whales, which consume up to 8,000 pounds daily. Because of their
lower place on the food chain, they are much less likely to be
contaminated than larger fish which are used for making fish oil
capsules.
Krill oil is much more potent and has a higher antioxidant capacity
than regular fish oil. This allows you to take a smaller daily
dose and obtain better results. In addition to the
all-important Omega-3 fatty acids (esp. EPA and DHA), it also contains
protective phospholipids and antioxidants. The
phospholipids are liposomes which deliver the essential fatty
acids directly to your body's cells. Standard fish oils lack this
phospholipid carrier system, so require much larger doses to be
effective. In fact, it is estimated that one can take 1/5
the dose to receive the equivalent amounts of fish oil. But there
are many additional benefits:
- One of the most important and dominant phospholipids in
krill oil is phosphatidyl choline, which may play an important role in
brain development and health.
- Krill oil is more stable than conventional fish oils and
does not require refrigeration to stay fresh.
- No aftertaste, reflux or belching.
- It contains carotenoids which help protect the eyes.
- It has an ORAC value of 378, compared to fish oil's level
of 8, and has 300 times the antioxidant power of vitamin A and vitamin
E, and 34 times that of coenzyme Q-10.
- Studies show that krill oil is more effective than fish oil
for cholesterol and triglyceride support.
- A 2003 study showed it's more effective than fish oil for
physical and emotional symptoms of PMS.
- Another study showed 300mg of krill for 30 days
reduced CRP by 30.9%, an important factor for reducing join and
vascular inflammation.
- A quality of life study demonstrated that krill oil
produced better results than fish oil on a number of different
measures: physical function, energy levels, social
function, emotional role, mental capacity, general health and physical
appearance.
Obviously, krill oil is a superior product in every way to fish
oil. But what brand should you take? After much
investigation, I believe that I have found the most potent, and most
cost effective for a two-a-day dose of pure krill oil on the market.
Various brands can be found in your local healthfood stores, but
most name brands do not have the potency of Source Naturals, which
provides 30% total Omega 3 fatty acids, and 24% EPA and DHA, the two
most important fatty acids, plus 400mg of phospholipids from pure
Neptune Krill Oil.
While other brands may still be superior to fish oil, Source Naturals
is pure, unadulterated and the only one I recommend to my patients and
take myself.
