The Many Benefits of Krill Oil

Krill oil, harvested from Antarctic krill, tiny shrimp-like crustaceans that live in cold ocean waters, is the most exciting new food supplement we have found in many years. Rich in DHA, EPA, the unique antioxidant astaxanthin, and a host of other nutrients, krill is the perfect complementary oil to our fermented cod liver oil.

Scientists and physicians have discovered that krill oil is helpful for a host of conditions. Krill oil enhances mood, strengthens the heart, and improves cognitive function, while reducing inflammation, pain and stiffness. It is rich in DHA, the fatty acid that makes up some sixty percent of brain tissue. This is why krill helps brain function - studies have shown significant improvement in concentration, mental function and memory after ninety days of taking krill oil supplements. Taken together, the nutrients in fermented cod liver oil and krill oil help prevent the mental decline typically associated with aging.

Krill Oil for Premenstrual Syndrome

In 2002, physicians at the University of Montreal , McGill University , and other medical centers in Quebec conducted a randomized, double-blind study, published in 2003 in the Alternative Medicine Review, about the use of krill oil for relieving premenstrual syndrome (PMS). In the three months of the study, various symptoms (breast tenderness, stress, irritability, depression, joint pain, weight gain, swelling, bloating, pain and discomfort) were reduced by anywhere from 21% to 64%. Participants took 2,000 mg of krill oil daily. A control group took a fish oil supplement daily. While that group showed mild changes, by far the most remarkable improvements occurred in the women taking krill oil. Many women reported complete disappearance of all their physical and emotional symptoms.

The researchers credited the trial's dramatic results to krill oil's unique biochemical profile of fatty acids, phospholipids and antioxidants, which appear to work synergistically to reduce inflammation, an underlying cause of most PMS symptoms (and also in fact many diseases). Brain neurotransmitters are affected as well, enhancing mood and relieving emotional and psychological symptoms. The researchers concluded with "a high level of confidence" that krill oil "can significantly reduce the physical and emotional symptoms of premenstrual syndrome."

Krill Oil for Inflammation, Joint Pain and Other Issues

Easing inflammation is critical in relieving joint pain and other symptoms of arthritis. In one double-blind clinical trial with krill oil, significant improvements occurred in arthritis-related pain, stiffness and functional impairment. Improvements began in as little as seven days, as measured by a standardized questionnaire and reduction in the level of CRP (C-Reactive Protein) in the blood, a marker for inflammation. Researchers attributed the results to the unique molecular composition of krill oil.

Numerous other published studies have shown krill oil to have significant beneficial effects on skin and appearance, hair and nails, energy, concentration and focus, seasonal allergies and autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease and lupus. The wide range of benefits demonstrates convincingly that one or two thousand milligrams of krill oil should be a mainstay of the daily diet.

“Let Your Food Be Your Medicine, and Your Medicine Be Your Food”

Hippocrates’ dictum is the essence of my philosophy of health and healing. Dr. Ron’s Krill Oil has taken a place alongside our New Zealand Organs and Glands and Fermented Cod Liver Oil in my nutritional regimen. These special foods are rich in fat-soluble nutrients that are in short supply in modern diets, and even in carefully selected traditional, whole foods diets. I believe these foods are essential for recovering and optimizing health and in living a long, rich and rewarding life.
