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

Pure Antarctic Krill Oil is being studied for its beneficial properties from PMS to Osteoporosis. Oh yes it is also a powerful antioxidant too.

What is the benefit of pure antarctic krill oil?

First...what is a Krill?

It's a shrimp-like crustacean found in all oceans. There is a specific type of krill that has adapted itself to survive the Antarctic...yes 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, phospholipids and....antioxidants.

Here is the interesting bit...together (synergistically) these components create a powerfully nutritious complex that offers great and significant health benefits.

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 from just another source of omega 3.

The fatty acids that are contained in the oil attach themselves to the phospholipids. 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.

Phospholipids in krill oil are very good for peak brain performance and nervous systems.

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 an eye on our newsletter as we will be covering Phospholipids in more detail at a later date.

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 krill oil was measured with other well known antioxidants on the market. The result?



The value of the krill oil 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 krill oil 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 oil has no contaminants like heavy metals.

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 radical damage is a precursor to cancer. We know that Vitamin C and E are recommended antioxidants.

Ok, well get 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. Krill Oil has extremely powerful antioxidant properties.
