(prHWY.com) May 8, 2012 - Vincennes, IN -- Recently, the buzz about krill oil has continued to crescendo to an almost deafening level. ReinventingAging.org, along with other notable healthcare authorities, have indicated that krill oil provides considerable health benefits, and is a source of significantly higher levels of the beneficial omega-3 EPA and DHA components, than traditional fish oils. The healthful benefits of krill oil are well documented, and simply too powerful to ignore in our quest for the elusive fountain of youth.
The healthful benefits of omega-3
krill oil are numerous. Like other omega-3 fatty acids, krill oil can help lower an individual's risk for several types of cancer, heart attack and stroke, depression in some patients, overall inflammation of the joints, and relief of symptoms associated with PMS. Other benefits include a significant reduction in LDL cholesterol (bad), with dramatic increases in HDL cholesterol (good) levels. Krill oil provides these healthful benefits in much smaller doses compared to omega-3s derived from fish oils. Comparable benefits resulting from a 5 gram daily regimen of fish oil can be achieved with just 1 gram of krill oil.
One concern that has been frequently cited regarding traditional fish oil is the existence of toxins and fillers that are often present in fish oil supplements. Krill oil is special, because krill is found in crustaceans and algae that other fish feed on; krill is a primary source of omega-3s, which results in purer and cleaner omega-3 oils. Many fish oil brands are produced from farmed fish, in warmer, more commercially-exploited waters, which can result in the presence of toxins and pollutants. Krill, on the other hand, is captured in the clean, cold waters of the Antarctic Ocean, which means that there is a lower likelihood of contamination in krill, because there are simply fewer pollutants and toxins present in the Antarctic.
The healthful benefits of krill oil are widely documented, and with increasing frequency, are at the center of a great deal of excitement from the healthcare community. This powerful supplement can benefit seemingly innumerable components of a healthy lifestyle, from the relief of pain associated with PMS, to the treatments of high cholesterol and low moods. Krill is cleaner and more easily absorbed by the body than traditional fish oil. As ReinventingAging.org has stated, krill oil supplements can have a significant, positive impact on one's health. It seems that our arsenal in the war for healthy living has been bolstered by this new super-supplement.
