Fish Oils have been around for some time now and the benefits of supplementing them in your daily diet has been heavily researched. The antioxidants we get from fish oil have been proven to promote fat loss, reduce inflammation, decrease joint pain, improve heart health, support hormone secretion, and relief symptoms of PMS.
Well, Krill Oil does all that and then some, and it does it faster. The popularity of Krill Oil is growing due to the fact that it contains a very beneficial antioxidant called astaxanthin. Antioxidants protect our cells from damage from free radicals, unstable compounds that left unchecked can lead to many chronic diseases. Free radicals are the result of stress – life, work, illness, and intense physical activity (e.g. Crossfit Training). Astaxanthin is a unique antioxidant in that it can cross the blood brain barrier readily protecting the eye, brain, and central nervous system from free radical damage. Another advantage of Krill Oil is the absence of a fishy aftertaste common with many fish oils.
In one particular study on controlling healthy cholesterol levels, Krill oil outperformed fish oil and a placebo group. Krill Oil reduced LDL (bad) levels by 34%, and increased HDL (good) levels by 43.5%. Fish oil reduced LDL by 4.6% and raised HDL by 4.3%.
If you are supplementing with fish oils currently (3-6g per day), it is recommended to exchange 1 g of fish oil with 1g of Krill Oil. For additional brain function benefit, It is further recommended to stack Krill Oil with CoQ10 and Phosphatidylserine.
It is not recommended to take Krill Oil if you have shellfish allergies.
