Neptune Krill Oil: Why Every Body Needs It
Antarctic Pure Krill Oil (NKO) is remarkable, to say the least, for the wide-ranging health benefits it brings to people everywhere. According to the manufacturer, we’ll soon be seeing it in medicinal-pharmaceutical applications and in functional foods.
Medical scientists have long concluded that two principal ways to support optimal health involve adequate consumption of omega-3 essential fatty acids and antioxidants. Krill oil contains the most potent form of both. It’s been on the market since 2002 when Neptune Biotech of Canada introduced it in softgel capsules, but physicians have been so accustomed to recommending fish oil that to this day in 2011 as I update this post, supplementing with krill oil is only beginning to be seen more widely as an everyday essential. Yet every body needs it every day for its truly superior effectiveness and safety.
To put it most simply, omega-3 essential fatty acids are essential to our survival as they are critical nourishment for all of our cells. Antioxidants protect the cells from damage caused by the free radicals that we get mostly from environmental pollution, smoking and processed foods. Free radicals have been identified as the cause of premature aging, but in addition, because they weaken the cell structure, the damage they cause opens the way for degenerative disease to take hold.
Since the body can’t make omega-3 essential fatty acids, you have to consume them as food and supplements. Principal sources include flax seed, nuts, eggs, fish and marine oils. But most people are deficient in omega-3s. Krill oil is the ideal way to fill this gap. Already, it has been clinically proven superior to fish oil in reducing LDL (bad) cholesterol and raising HDL (good) cholesterol levels. It has also been clinically proven to reduce inflammation and joint discomfort and the symptoms of post-menstrual syndrome (PMS). Small studies have shown it to be beneficial to bone health and brain health. Krill oil has even been shown to lower blood pressure.
Neptune krill oil is sold under the private labels of several different companies, but the addition of the NKO trademark will identify it as the Neptune brand.

What others are Saying…
Omega Fatty Acids and Brain Evolution The algae trapped the sun’s energy by photosynthesis and converted this to complex molecules, including proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids that were rich in n-3 (omega 3) fatty acids.
Free Radicals, Antioxidants, Aging and Disease Free radicals are a problem for most of us. Their release is triggered in response to breathing, unhealthy foods, overexercising, exposure to toxins, and environmental pollution.
What are Free Radicals Free radicals are very unstable molecules which can cause damage within the body and are linked to several different types of cancer.
