Much has been made in recent years of the effects of Omega 3 fatty acids and their effects on the heart and cardiovascular system. Recently, Krill oil has come to the fore, being touted as the premiere supplement for cardiovascular health. Here, we will examine what Krill are, and how they benefit the cardiovascular system.
The word "Krill" in the language of Norway, translates literally as, "whale food". That is exactly what Krill are. These tiny shrimp-like creatures feed the great whales, as well as penguins and other cold water marine life. They have a very high concentration of the very important Omega 3 fatty acids. DHA, EPA, and Astaxanthin, which is a highly potent antioxidant, as well as high amounts of phospholipids, combine to help the elasticity of the arteries, improve blood circulation, suppress bad cholesterol, raise good cholesterol, and improve the vigor of lipids in the blood.
Krill oil has been studied for more than twenty years, and has been proven to be forty eight times more potent than regular fish oil. Krill are much lower on the food chain than the larger fish, like cod, that give us regular fish oil. It is for this reason that they are not prone to mercury or PCB contamination, and thus, safer for the body than fish oil. Higher potency and higher concentrations of the important Omega 3 fatty acids and antioxidants make Krill superior than regular fish oil for heart and cardiovascular health.
Millions have already used Krill oil supplements to lower their bad cholesterol levels while raising their good cholesterol levels. People with atherosclerosis have used Krill oil supplements to keep blood from forming dangerous clots, improve the elasticity of the arteries, and thus prevent heart attack and stroke. The mild blood thinning properties of Krill oil also lead to a lower, healthier blood pressure, and better circulation of the blood through the system of people with atherosclerosis.
Krill oil supplementation has been studied for more than twenty years. The benefits of this substance to the cardiovascular system can almost not be overstated. For many people, Krill oil has served to cut the risk of stroke and heart attack, or even second heart attack or stroke, in half. With such obvious benefits, Krill is now considered by many health care professionals to not only be far superior to fish oil, but to be the premiere supplement anyone should take to promote and protect their health.
