Krill - THE Omega-3 supplement

Even if you currently take a superior quality Cod Liver Oil supplement, you should still be taking Krill.  This oil is fast becoming one of the most important health supplements available, however, not all Krill is created equal.  Read on to discover why the brand IAS is offering is the only one worth taking.

The Importance Of Antioxidants

Most people are now aware of the vitally important role antioxidants play in our every day lives.  They are instrumental in combating free radicals, which are the by-products of metabolic processes that damage body cells and tissues.    Arming your body with the means to neutralize them can help prevent a number of diseases including cancer, heart disease and age related mental decline.

In a perfect world, we should be able to receive sufficient anti-oxidants from a healthy, wide-ranging, natural diet.  However, polution and modern farming/distribution techniques have denatured our food.  This coupled with an increased consumption of processed and ready meals means that natural antioxidants are in insufficient quantities to be of any real benefit.  As a result, supplementation is becoming more and more important.

The Importance of Omega-3 Oils

Omega 3 oils also play a vital role in maintaining optimal health.  They contain both DHA and EPA fats, and research to date strongly illustrates their role in preventing heart disease, cancer, diabetes and other diseases.  While Omega-6 dietary fats are essential to maintaining our health, the ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 oils is poor in most traditional, western diets.  This is further aggravated by the fact that many fish are polluted, containing high levels of mercury and other contaminants.  Despite this, fish remains the highest source of Omega-3 fats, and a deficiency can precipitate weight gain, depression, dry hair and skin, sleep disorders and allergies.  Fish oil/Cod Liver Oil is also quite unstable and once ingested, it oxides (or turns rancid) as it is exposed to oxygen and heat.  This oxidized oil, in turn, creates free radicals, so additional antioxidant supplementation is required.

Why Krill Oil?

Krill are tiny crustaceans, very similar to prawns.  They form a major part of great whales’ diets as they are an easily renewable food source, and are fished in the North Atlantic ocean.  Krill is a natural, synergistic blend of Omega-3 fats and antioxidants, however the extraction process employed is vital in maintaining this synergy.

Neptune Ocean Extract™ is a patented process that enables the oil to be extracted safely.  This means protecting it from oxygen, heat and light, so that the delicate balance of phospholipids, antioxidants and Omega-3 fats can be absorbed by the body safely and effectively.  This makes Neptune Krill, THE best of all Omega-3 Oil supplements.

Many research studies, including a number of clinical trials, have been conducted over the last 10 years.  All have demonstrated that Neptune Ocean Extract™  Krill is completely devoid of all toxins, and entirely safe for human consumption.
