ANTARCTIC KRILL OIL BETTER THAN FISH OIL

Krill Oil, rich in omega-3 phospholipids, provides substantially greater reduction of fat in the heart and liver than does omega-3 from fish oil. This is demonstrated in a new preclinical study performed by internationally acknowledged research groups in Italy. Under the supervision of Dr Sebastiano Banni and Dr Vincenzo Di Marzo, the effect of Krill Oil and omega-3 fish oil was investigated in obese Zucker rats: "… Krill Oil has a significantly better effect than fish oil" says Banni.

SUPPORTING A HEALTHIER HEART

This investigation uses parameters associated with obesity and its findings show Antarctic Krill Oil reduces the fat content in the heart by 42%. Fish oil only reduces the fat content by 2%, making Krill Oil 22 times more effective! High levels of fat hinder the heart function, but reducing the fat content brings the heart back to a normal level.

SUPPORTING A HEALTHIER LIVER

A corresponding examination of the fat amount in the liver shows a reduction of 60% after administration of Antarctic Krill Oil, while fish oil reduces the fat content in the liver by just 38%, showing Krill Oil to be 50% more effective. A high level of fat in the liver impairs liver function which reduces insulin sensitivity and contributes to the development of Type II diabetes. When considering nutritional liver support we also recommend you look at our research newsletter on Phosphatidyl Choline.

CONCLUSION

The results from this study confirm the hypothesis that Antarctic Krill Oil has a substantially better effect than fish oil on certain cardiovascular risk factors. The study is published in Journal of Nutrition, Vol. 139, No. 8, August 2009.

WHY ELSE SHOULD WE CONSIDER TAKING KRILL OIL?

Krill Oil has a long list of health benefits and relevant studies showing Krill Oil uses in:* Prevention and nutritional treatment of heart disease (Stone, 1996, Knapp 1997)

• Reduction of high blood  pressure
• Reduction of blood levels of cholesterol and triglycerides (Harris 1989, Werner et al 2004)
• Reduction of blood fibrinogen level, reducing thrombosis risk
• Reduction of angina pectoris (Saynor et al 1984)
• Increasing the action of insulin, protecting against Type II Diabetes
• Increasing in the action of and effectiveness of the immune system
• Balancing of essential fatty acids; important in avoiding or treating autoimmune diseases
• Protection against osteoporosis
• Protection against some causes of lack of growth in children (Simopoulos 1991)
• Protection against weakness that may develop in Omega-3 deficiency
• Prevention of menorrhoea in adolescents (Harel et al 1996,Hampalis et al 2003)
• Prevention of the following neurological problems:
  - Disturbance of behaviour
  - Lack of co-ordination
  - Parathesia (abnormal sensations)
  - Learning disability
  - Visual impairment

To obtain a greater understanding of the natural benefits of Krill Oil over normal fish oils we recommend you read the latest newsletter by Dr Plaskett B.A Ph, D., C.Chem.

Krill Oil, which is naturally rich in Omega-3 phospholipids, has been demonstrated to give a substantially greater reduction of fat in the heart and liver than Omega-3 from fish oil.

So to recap, research has shown;

Krill Oil reduced the fat content in the heart by 42%, fish oil only reduced the fat content by 2%. The corresponding examination of the fat amount in the liver showed a reduction of 60% after administration of Krill Oil, while fish oil only reduced the fat content in the liver by 38%. This can lead to a reduced insulin sensitivity and contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes.
