Daniel Lacey of Pharmaceutical Compounding recently posted a blog on their website at www.pharmaceuticalcompounding.co.nz on the benefits of Krill Oil, pointing out that

the body cannot make omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, yet these are needed for vital functions such as eye health, brain function, settling inflammation, heart health, healthy joint function, just to name a few.

As we are all aware, fish oil has dominated the omega 3 market for a number of years, until Krill oil entered the market place, and Pharmaceutical Compounding advise that krill oil can provide the body with superior nutrition, due to its unique structure, which sets it apart from ordinary fish oil. As they point out, the ingredients in a 440mg capsule of Krill Oil have a synergy that makes a one to one comparison with a 1000mg fish oil capsule challenging without the full facts.

Daniel goes on to list the advantages of Krill over Fish oil as follows:

  1. Contains EPA and DHA (Omega 3).
  2. Contains high amounts of phospholipids which enhance the bioavailability of omega 3 fatty acids, and prevent oxidative damage to the cell wall.
  3. Contains Astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant, which increases the body’s natural healing ability.
  4. Has greater total antioxidant protection than fish oil due to the naturally occurring vitamins A & E and Astaxanthin.
  5. It is sourced from our cleaner, sustainable Southern Antarctic Oceans, and has a greater purity than fish oil with no detectable heavy metals, dioxins or pesticides.
  6. Comes in easy to take small caps.
  7. It is reflux free.

Similarly, Daniel lists the actions of Krill compared to Fish oil as follows:

  • Krill oil has demonstrated superiority over standard fish oils for a number of conditions including:
  • Cardiovascular health – Krill oil reduces inflammation and supports healthy cholesterol metabolism.
  • Elevated cholesterol – Krill oil reduces total, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides and increases HDL cholesterol along with maintaining healthy ratios of HDL and LDL.
  • Rheumatoid and osteoarthritis – Krill oil reduces pain, inflammation, stiffness and improves mobility.
  • PMS and dysmenorrhoea – Krill oil reduces the physical and emotional symptoms of PMS.
  • Neurological conditions – Krill oil supports cognition, maintains learning and memory and improves mood and wellbeing.
