Neptune Krill Oil Wages War on Inflammatory Diseases
Neptune Krill Oil (NKO) has been on the market since 2002 in the form of the first capsules ever made from Antarctic krill. Many clinical tests have shown it to be far superior to fish oil in every respect for supporting human health in such areas cholesterol, cardiovascular, joint and brain health to name a few. Here we look at one of this new marine oil’s most important ingredients: omega-3.
No matter what your age or gender, there’s one thing your body must have: omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs). But your body can’t make them for you. So you must get them from food and supplementation.
Essential fatty acids are mostly omega-3 and -6 EFAs that come from the oils of plants, fish and tiny shrimp-like cold water crustaceans called krill. Let’s look at essential fatty acids and why it makes sense to choose krill oil as the very best source.
The three major omega 3s are alphalinolenic acid (ALA); eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA); and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
Omega-6 fatty acids help omega-3s to help the body, but you need to get them in the right balance. The improper balance between them is known to lead to disease, but the right ratio can support good health. Why? Because omega-3 reduces inflammation, and omega-6 heats it up. Many researchers blame too much omega-6 in the typical USA diet for today’s epidemic of inflammatory disorders. Much of it comes from vegetable oils, for example. Too much inflammation leads to pain and many serious diseases.
But knowing exactly how much of which foods to eat in order to get the right balance isn’t easy. In NKO supplements, however, you can clearly see the omega 3/6 ratios on the label. Unlike plant or fish oil, the omega-6 content is about as low as it gets and the ratio is the best you can possibly buy.
NKO is now waging a very effective war against inflammatory and other diseases* and is well on its way to applications in pharmaceuticals and functional foods.
What makes it better than fish oil? Just three of several reasons: It has 48 times more antioxidant power and is much more absorbable. Its EFAs are bound with phospholipids instead of the triglycerides of fish oil. And it’s phospholipids that are the very foundations of cell membranes in the human body.
The bonding of omega-3 EFAs and its phospholipids gets antioxidants through the wall of the intestines and into your cells. It also crosses the blood-brain barrier and into your brain cells. And that’s one reason it’s entirely unique and so effective. It nourishes and strengthens every cell in your body* because it’s at least 98% bioavailable (compared to fish oil at 65%).
In addition to just plain good health, a great number of health concerns* can be helped by taking krill oil supplements each and every day for the rest of your life.
Neptune Krill Oil capsules are sold by several major brands under their own private labels, but they will always show the “NKO” trademark on the label.
