What Makes Antarctic Krill Oil Such an Exceptional Product?
Antarctic Krill oil has all the wonderful characteristics of Omega 3 Fish Oil plus some additional advantages. Stay with us for a few minutes, we will uncover the mystery of a product where you can obtain benefits 300 times superior to those reached with some antioxidants.
"Antartic krill oil has the highest Omega 3 bio availability"
In this page we will be developing the following subjects: What Krill is, where is it found and its vital importance for marine life; where do commercial krill oil comes from; its wonderful chemical qualities for the human health; the matchless antioxidant characteristics of krill oil; specific benefits of the Antarctic krill oil for human health. We have written in several pages of this site, that when ever there is a predominance of Omega 6 fats in the diet( see
Omega 3 Deficiency
), there is always a rise in inflammation causing chemicals, in all body cells. Luckily, we can count on the beneficial effects of Omega 3 fats to resist the great amount of degenerative diseases related to chronic inflammation. Up to this moment, we have presented Omega 3 fish oil as the answer to that situation. Nevertheless, in the last 10 years Antarctic krill oil has become a more efficient alternative to fish oil.
What is the Krill?
Krill is a small crustacean, similar to shrimp but 1 to 5 cm. in length. It lives in cold Antarctic waters and other oceans. There are big masses or krill banks in such amounts that some times they even change the sea color, and are the preferred food of whales and other species. Whales ingest great amounts of krill, up to 4 tons daily, during the feeding season.
Krill feeds on plankton, and is the base of all marine nutritional chain. Plankton as well uses the energy of the sun as its food. All ocean life depends in good part of its availability. There are near 80 Krill classes. Antarctic krill is the most used for oil production, for its importance in human health. As it is well known, krill is a very rich protein source.
Antarctic Krill Oil.
At the beginning of the 90s , it was discovered Antarctic krill oil has a high omega 3 content.
In opposition to what happens with fish oils, in the case of Antarctic krill oil, omega 3 fatty acids are present as phospholipids, that is liposomes, or small packages that directly transport fatty acids to all body cells. All active cells membranes are formed by phospholipids. That is the reason for their significance.
It has been scientifically established that the safest and most effective way to deliver EPA and DHA to cells is in this phospholipid form. Unfortunately, fish oil does not contain phospholipids. Its Omega 3 fatty acids are triglycerides. There you have an important difference in human health results.
In sum, both fish and krill oil have EPA and DHA fatty acids. The difference is that in krill oil they are present as phospholipids while in fish oil, they are as triglycerides. The end result is a more efficient way to deliver them to cell membranes, where they exert their benefits.In other words, Antarctic krill oil has bigger bio availability.
Antioxidants in Antarctic Krill Oil.
Here it is, an important and exclusive Antarctic krill oil characteristic: its extraordinary power to attack free radicals, that do so much harm to our body. It does it in several forms since it contains antioxidants that are much more powerful that Vitamin A, vitamin E, luthein, Cq10 and lycopene.
Fish Oil actually uses antioxidants, like vitamin E and C, to be taken along, in order to avoid rancidity or oxidation inside the body.
Antioxidants found in Antarctic Krill Oil:
- Vitamin A in small quantity.
- Vitamin E in small quantity.
- Astaxanthin. Called a super anti-oxidant. The most important of all contained antioxidants. Chemically bonded to Omega 3 fatty acids, it increases its bio availability. A carotenoid type of antioxidant, more powerful than beta-carotene, alpha tocopherol, lycopene and luthein.
- Canthaxanthin.
In summary, the antioxidant power of Antarctic krill oil is 300 times greater than vitamin E and A, and 48 times greater that standard fish oil.
Stability.
Antarctic krill oil is more stable and rancidity resistant that fish oil. This means that it lasts a lot longer and that it does NOT oxidize in the body. It can last 2 years outside the refrigerator and 4 years inside it. Zero fishy aftertaste, reflux or any other side effect.
Antarctic krill Oil Benefits.
As it was already mentioned, krill oil benefits come from a greater bio availability of its omega 3 fatty acids and from its high antioxidant power.
Here, some of its magnificent qualities:
- Healthy heart. Less inflammation and its lethal effects.
- Concentration, memory and learning improvements.
- Healthy joints. Less inflammation and pain associated with arthritis.
- More stable sugar levels.
- Anti aging benefits.
- Optimal brain and nervous system function and development.
- Cell membranes protection.
- Cholesterol and blood lipids improvements.
- Healthy liver function.
- Less painful menstrual periods and PMS improvements.
- Immune system optimization.
- Better mood.
- Better skin health.
- General quality of life improvement.
Practically, we have in our hands the possibility to use a new product that has great advantages over fish oil. I hope you enjoy it. Many heart attacks and strokes occur because of hardening and narrowing of the arteries due to the build up of plaque and fatty deposits within them. you may want to check this information. The ‘standard’ medical solution for high cholesterol is to prescribe a statin drug. Whereas these are generally effective in lowering cholesterol…some people pay a price…in side effects! These can range from damaged livers, muscle aches and even impotency. You may want to check this information.
