Pure Antarctic Krill Oil...A Potent Free Radical Fighter With Many Other Benefits

Some of the many health benefits of taking krill oil include a healthy liver function, good skin and blood sugar health.



Oh yes...they are powerful antioxidants too.

Antioxidants play an essential role in our lives, and are basically responsible for helping to fight heart disease along with many other diseases, slowing down aging in the body, helping with aches and pains by fighting inflammation, and so much more. You can get your daily diet of antioxidants mainly by foods, drinks such as green tea or supplements... even sunlight (Vitamin D).

What is the benefit of pure Antarctic krill oil?

Well, I suppose the first question you are going to ask is...what is a Krill?

For the uninitiated it is a shrimp-like crustacean found in all oceans. However, there is a specific type of krill that has adapted itself to survive and feed in the Antarctic...yes, that's correct, the coldest waters on the planet! It's called Euphausia superba.

Just recently, nutritional companies have successfully found a way to extract a pure oil, rich in omega-3, phos pholipids and astaxanthin....antioxidants.

Here is the interesting bit...together (synergistically) these components create a powerfully nutritious supplement that offers great and significant health benefits. Some of the many health benefits of taking krill oil include a healthy liver function, good skin and blood sugar health. Not only is it just for adults but your children can take it too.

Even more interesting...we know that long chain omega 3 fatty acids are very good for us, with many health benefits but...the oil extracted from Antarctic krill is far far superior than just another source of omega 3.

The fatty acids that are contained in the oil attach themselves to the phos-pholipids. Without getting too technical, this basically means that they are more effective than other marine oils and can be taken at much smaller doses.



Just in case you were wondering what phospholipids are... well they are life-essential membrane nutrients and have been dubbed “life’s building blocks,” playing a major role in human health.

Phos-pholipids in krill oil are very good for peak brain performance and healthy nervous systems. Studies are currently under way as a natural drug free remedy or cure for high cholesterol too.

It's worth noting that other phospholipid products are available on the market but contrary to phospholipids from krill oil, their fatty acid profiles are not optimized for the human brain.

Keep a watchful eye on our Health Discoveries page as we will be covering any developments relating to krill oil or something from anywhere around the world that we feel is exciting, important and even ground-breaking in natural health remedies, especially if it has an antioxidants theme.

Vitamin E, and A, flavonoids and esterified astaxanthin make pure antarctic krill oil a very potent antioxidant indeed. In fact in a recent ORAC test, one brand of krill oil was measured with other well known antioxidants on the market. The result?

Its value was found to be some 48 times higher than that of the fish oil and 34 times higher than coenzyme Q10. This explains the incredible stability that it demonstrates in the face of oxygen, heat and light.

It is also worth noting that being at the beginning of the food chain, and fished far away from industrial areas, Antarctic krill do not accumulate heavy metals in their fatty fractions.

So compared to many fish oils, Antarctic krill has no risk of heavy metals or contaminants in it.

Last point...and it's a good one. If you have been surfing this site you will be well aware of antioxidant power! Well, we know that free radicals damage is a precursor to cancer.

We know that Vitamins C and E are recommended antioxidants.

Ok, how about this....Krill Oil is 300 times more powerful than Vitamin C or E, 34 times more powerful CoQ10 enzymes and 47 times more powerful than lutein.
