Neptune Krill Oil

What is Neptune Krill Oil, what are its benefits, and why should you consider it over any of the other natural oils that contain many of the same beneficial components? Neptune Krill Oil, as the name implies, is an extract of krill, a shrimp-like crustacean.

Krill are found in all the world’s oceans, but Neptune Krill Oil is only extracted from krill found in the Antarctic Ocean. Antarctic krill are perhaps the most abundant species of animal on earth. They are sustainably harvested, and their numbers are constantly monitored by the Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resource (CCAMLR.)

The oil that is harvested from Antarctic krill contains many compounds that have been shown to provide a variety of beneficial health effects. Neptune Krill Oil has been independently clinically proven to aid in the management of cholesterol, inflammation, arthritis, and premenstrual syndrome (PMS.) Current research is studying Neptune Krill Oil’s effects on those who suffer from Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD.)

Neptune Krill Oil contains a unique blend of Omega-3 oils (both EPA and DHA,) phospholipids, and antioxidants. Omega-3 oils have long been known to contribute to overall brain and heart health. The Omega-3 oils in Neptune Krill Oil are unique because they are attached to phospholipids which means that they are absorbed better than the Omega-3 oils found in other products including regular fish oils.

The combination of the antioxidant astaxanthin with vitamins A and E contributes to the stability of Neptune Krill Oil and can help protect against cell aging. Regular fish oils do not naturally contain antioxidants, and they must be added. Neptune Krill Oil also contains lower amounts of the harmful toxins and metals that are often found in regular fish oils which means that it is safer to use than fish-based oils.
