Krill are small crustaceans that resemble shrimp, they are between 1cm to 5cm long and are found in the colder oceans. They are considered to be near the bottom of the food chain and are eaten by most creatures that are bigger than them. In this article I am going to tell you about the benefits of krill oil supplements The proponents of this oil say that it improves concentration and memory, and the chemical makeup of this oil is such that it is much more absorbable by the body. This is because it is a phospholipid form which is better absorbed by the body than the triglyceride form of most fish oils. However while the phospholipid form appears to be better for bioavailability than ‘normal’ triglyceride fish oils, it is not considered to be superior to the ester form used by most ethical fish oil manufacturers. It is considered to be on a par. They say it helps to control blood sugar levels in diabetics. They say it gives relief from the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome. And that it reduces inflammation that is associated with arthritis. I can and will go on about their claims about the benefits of krill oil supplements. However I must tell you that given that all of these claims are true, and I have no reason to doubt them. The cost of a bottle of krill oil capsules is US$24.95 for 60 x 500mg soft gels compared to US$16.85 for 60 x 1,000 mg of soft gels. Each bottle of 60 krill oil capsules contains 30,000mgs of krill oil and only 2,700mgs of DHA. The company that I buy my fish oil from puts out a bottle of Omega 3 DHA esters that contains 60,000mgs of concentrated molecularly distilled fish oil esters and contains 15,000mgs of DHA. It would appear that the manufacturers of krill oil are giving you a mediocre product and because of a clever sales pitch, are charging the earth for it. The proponents of krill oil admit that their oil is more expensive, but they do not tell you that their oil only contains a low level of DHA. 9% to be exact. In all of the Omega 3 products, DHA is the most powerful and useful as it is used by our brain in vast quantities. Indeed our brain is comprised of some 30% DHA fats. DHA is also used to keep our cardiovascular system in good shape.
