Krill Oil Benefits
Krill oil is an extract prepared from a species of antarctic krill,

of evidence for its benefits.
Cardiovascular health
The biggest benefit is on blood cholesterol, where multiple
studies have shown that it raises HDL (the 'good' cholesterol)
significantly while lowering LDL (the bad cholesterol) for a slight
reduction in total cholesterol. It also appears to lower blood
triglycerides, for an overall beneficial impact on heart disease.

Arthritis
Krill oil also appears to provide a notable reduction in C-reactive proteins
in people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, which helps with
overall pain and inflammation. Studies done so far show a 30 per cent
reduction in CRP within 30 days of beginning to take krill oil.
One additional study shows that there is also a substantial reduction in overall
symptoms of arthritis, but that study has not been repeated yet.

In addition to well-supported effects on cardiovascular health and arthritis,
krill oil also seems to have some benefits for PMS symptoms, particularly
in reducing irritability and easing overall blood flow.

How Krill Oil Works in the Body
Most people have heard plenty about the need to include omega-3 fatty acids
in their diet for both heart and brain health, and the recommendation is usually
to take them in the form of fish oil. What many people have not heard, though,
is that there's a relatively new kid on the block that works even better. It's called krill oil.
in their diet for both heart and brain health, and the recommendation is usually
to take them in the form of fish oil. What many people have not heard, though,
is that there's a relatively new kid on the block that works even better. It's called krill oil.
Much like fish oil is made by separating out the fatty acids from the tissues of oily fish,
krill oil is made using krill, which is a group of extremely small crustaceans.
Krill have a similar fatty acid content to fish, with about the same levels of
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and slightly more EPA (eicosapentanoic acid).
Where krill gets its advantage, though, is in the specific form of the fatty acids.

Krill oil vs fish oil
Fish oil holds its fatty acids primarily in the form of triglycerides.
The fatty acids in krill oil, on the other hand, are bound mostly as phospholipids.
What does this mean on a practical level? It means that the fatty acids in krill oil
have a much higher bioavailability than the ones in fish oil.
Simply put, your body can use a whole lot more of what's in krill oil.

In addition to the fatty acids, krill oil contains various other compounds.
The primary ones are vitamin E, which is beneficial to blood flow and
metabolism, and astaxanthin, which is a carotenoid that helps with eye health and
inflammation. It is still unknown whether krill oil contains these compounds in
high enough percentages to make an impact, but research will surely continue.

Where can I find a good Krill Oil?
Osumex Pure Antarctic Krill Oil is produced from krills harvested only
in the pure unpolluted waters of the Antarctic Ocean.
The producer practices safe and sustainable harvesting and
collaborates closely with eco-watch groups such as WWF to ensure
sustainable harvesting of the Antarctic krill and oil production.

The Antarctic krill lives in the unpolluted coldest and most pristine
waters on earth. It also holds very potent digestive enzymes that make
it unsuitable for trawling because it practically self destructs very quickly
when taken out of the water for processing. Safe and sustainable harvesting means the
processing equipment stays under water while a continuous stream of water brings the
fresh raw krill on board the factory vessel.

when taken out of the water for processing. Safe and sustainable harvesting means the
processing equipment stays under water while a continuous stream of water brings the
fresh raw krill on board the factory vessel.
This allows for processing of fresh raw material on board the floating life science factory
which means bioactive components are retained for superior quality. This means that the
krill oil obtained are of the purest and highest quality without any adulteration.
There are many krill oil products sold today where it is produced from small batches
and multiple small sources that are pooled together to make one batch for production.
These cannot be considered pure krill oil.

Osumex Antarctic Pure Krill Oil is rich in natural Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Astaxanthin
a very powerful antioxidants giving the rich red colour. Due to the presence of Astaxanthin
content which is recognized for its health-promoting free radical suppression no additives
are required to maintain the integrity and purity of the krill oil in the vegetable soft gel capsule.
Most fish oil supplements on the other hand require much additives to ensure viability and
to maintain shelf-life. In addition a significant proportion of the long-chain Omega-3
fatty acids in the krill oil is in phospholipid form. In contrast, the Omega-3 in dietary
supplements derives from cod liver, seal and or fish oils are almost exclusively
Omega-3 triglyceride fatty acids.
