Ok so I know what you're thinking. Krill Oil? Why the heck would I want to try Krill Oil? Well let me inform you.
Clinical data has shown Krill Oil seems to possess numerous benefits and has the ability to: protect your heart, lower your cholesterol, fight PMS symptoms, combat inflammation, optimize your brain's capabilities, fight aging AND boost your overall health and wellbeing!
These days we're all well aware of the importance of including Omega 3
fatty acids into our diets. Everest Nutrition Krill Oil is a fantastic
source of Omega 3s, especially EPA and DHA benefits, the two essential
fatty acids the body needs to maintain excellent health.
Krill Oil contains a rich supply of astaxanthin, a red pigment found in
aquatic livestock such as krill, shrimp, lobster, mussel, crab and
other seafood sources. Astaxanthin is known as a very powerful anti
oxidant which can help rid the body of free radicals that contribute to
various diseases and illnesses. Astaxanthin is also known for its
anti-aging capabilities.
Even better. krill oil's Omega 3 structure is linked together in a
different form compared to fish oil. The essential fatty acids in fish
oil are made up in triglyceride form, whereas krill oil is linked
together in phospholipid form – the same structure as the fat cells in
the human body! This makes absorption of Omega 3s faster and easier.
Reasons to use Krill Oil
Cardiovascular Health: Results from a study published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition
reported that krill oil can significantly reduce heart-damaging
inflammation. The study was conducted by measuring the presence of
C-Reactive Protein (a.k.a CRP) levels in the blood. One way to measure
the risk of heart damage is to examine the amount of the body's CRP
levels. Participants of the study were divided into two groups; a
placebo and krill oil group. During the study, CRP levels were measured
three times; the beginning, seven days and 14 days. After 7 days, the
placebo group's CRP levels increased by 15.7 % and after 14 days levels
increased again by 32.1%
Cholesterol levels: Findings from a study conducted at
McGill University in Montreal indicate that krill oil helps lower (bad)
cholesterol levels. The study examined 120 patients who were diagnosed
with high cholesterol. Participants were divided into four groups:
Group A was given .5 - 1.5 grams of krill oil daily; Group B was given 2
– 3 grams of krill oil daily; Group C was given 3 grams of fish oil
daily and Group D was given a placebo.
PMS Symptoms: Research indicates a link between the lack
of Omega 3s in women and the occurrence and severity of PMS symptoms. A
study conducted by the University of Montreal followed the progress of
70 women diagnosed with PMS. Patients were divided into 3 groups: krill
oil, fish oil and a placebo group. Experts also took note of the
dosage of pain relief medication used by participants as well as other
diagnostic tests to compare the effectiveness of krill oil, fish oil and
other methods used to address conditions associated with PMS. Results
concluded that women taking krill oil used less pain relief medications
compared to the fish oil group. Findings also revealed that krill oil "significantly reduces dysmenorrhea" and the emotional symptoms of PMS.
Inflammation: The results of a study published in the American Journal of Nutrition
highlighted the effects of krill oil on chronic inflammation and
arthritic symptoms. The study was conducted by Western University in
collaboration with McMaster University. Participants included 90
patients who were diagnosed with inflammatory conditions such as
cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis and / or osteoarthritis.
Brain Function: A study at the University of California,
Berkley, suggests that low levels of Omega 3s, particularly DHA and EPA
may contribute to cognitive decline. Findings indicate that regular
consumption of Omega 3s, especially sources rich in EPA and DHA (such as
krill oil), can considerably improve cognitive function.
Anti-Aging: ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity)
values are used to measure the effectiveness of antioxidants. Numerous
ORAC tests have proven that krill oil effectively repairs aging cells
when compared to other antioxidants. In fact, independent labs
confirmed that Everest Nutrition Krill Oil contains an ORAC value of 431
while fish oil has an ORAC value of 8. Krill oil has over 50 times
more ORAC power than fish oil! Research concluded that patients
(particularly women) who took krill oil for three months reported
significant improvement in the texture of their skin, nails and hair.
Overall Health: Numerous studies prove that krill oil's
benefits can improve your overall health by strengthening your immune
system, optimizing kidney function, regulating the body's hormone
levels, elevating your mood and emotional wellbeing, balancing blood
sugar levels, regulating blood pressure levels, supporting eye health,
boosting your energy AND much more!
I have to admit i was skeptic at first but I don't believe I have ever felt better until I tried Krill Oil. Now it is an everyday must have.
