Krill Oil vs Fish Oil

All the advantages of fish oil without the risks involved!

Fish oil is highly beneficial for health. However, Krill Oil is advantageous and has more benefits than fish oil. The benefits are:

• Cholesterol is maintained at a healthy level.
• Enables you to have a razor-sharp memory.
• Blood pressure level is looked after.
• Healthy inflammatory pathways are sustained.
• Hormonal balance is promoted.
• Joint lubrication and agility is an added advantage.

Little do people realize that by consuming fish oil, which they consider to be beneficial, are just abstaining themselves from achieving longevity and optimal health.

Whereas, krill oil is an excellent antioxidant, called astaxanthin unlike that of fish oil. It is a carotenoid that is responsible for the bright pink color of the shrimp and also helps in the defense of cells. It also protects the DNA against the effects of free radicals. You would be surprised to know that it is an element that is able to cross the blood-brain barrier, thereby transporting the nutrients in the body very effectively.

Apart from this, there are several other reasons that makes krill oil have unparalleled advantages when compared to fish oil. To know more about how beneficial it is over fish oil and view the results, you may have a look at the chart that displays the results of comparison between NutraCares Krill Oil and fish oil.

Krill Oil facilitates an all-round development of your health!

With various scientific studies and research being conducted, some of the noticeable results were:

• In sustaining healthy levels of cholesterol, krill oil is 11 times more effective!
• The brain health is promoted on a 6 fold level.
• Appearance of the skin is improved 3 times within a short span.

Krill oil is a better absorbent!

Fish oil mainly comprises of Omega-3 fatty acid. This exists in the form of a Triglyceride form, like that of a fat, which in turn forms a barrier around the most essential part, thereby making it difficult for the body to absorb.
Whereas, Krill Oil exists in the form of a phospholipid, similar to that of a human body. Due to this absorption of nutrients occurs at a better pace and bioavailability becomes faster and easier.

Krill Oil is a much safer and purer option!

Generally, the fish oils available are extracted from large fishes which contain mercury levels greater than that of krill. Also, due to the vast industry, fish oil is extracted from fishes that are habituated in “farms”, where the fish is subject to chemicals and dyes and this would result in the fish oil being more toxic and lacking the needed nutrients.

In contrast, the NutraCares Krill Oil comes from the krill present in the deep and pristine waters of Antarctica, thereby having no scope for the presence of mercury or any chemical even with the slightest toxicity. The krill used for extraction is pure and not prone to any chemicals.

Krill Oil Lasts for a Longer Time!

Due to the presence of astaxanthin, which is not present in fish oil, the integrity of the fish oil is protected. This makes it stay fresh for longer and it does not go rancid like fish oil. NutraCares Krill Oil has a shelf life of up to two years.

Krill Oil is highly useful in the treatment for Inflammation and symptoms of arthritis.

The advantages of Krill Oil has been a topic widely researched and studied upon. A study in 2007 by the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, it was found that within 7 days of treatment, the inflammation was reduced by 19% due to Krill Oil, whereas the other group had an increase of 16% in their inflammatory C-reactive protein. On continuing the treatment for 14 days, the inflammation reduced to 30% and the inflammatory C-reactive protein increased to an astonishing 32%! Krill Oil is thus useful in reducing the pain, stiffness and functional impairment to patients with chronic inflammation and arthritis. The tests were conducted for 14 days with a daily dosage of 300mg Krill Oil provided to the patients.
