Let us face it, whenever there is a new product launched in the market, there is a set of people who just pound on it, without giving it a second thought. Media-hyped krill oil supplements are no different. In this article, let us find out if these supplements really effective? Should you take them? Are they value for money? If not, then what scores more over krill oil supplements? Before we find out answers to all these questions, let us first understand the importance of DHA omega-3 fatty acid. DHA is one of the most vital types of essential omega3 fat. Word essential means that it cannot be produced internally by the body, but is much needed for proper growth and development. DHA is the major constituent of many vital body parts like brain, eye, neuron's plasma, etc. Any deficiency of DHA in the body can lead to increased risk of heart attacks and strokes, high blood pressure and cholesterol, memory loss, neurobehavioral diseases, disorder in body's inflammation cycle, etc. This means that we all should take nutritional supplement that are high in DHA to compensate its deficiency and lead ail free life. As the name suggests, krill oil supplements are made of oil extracted from krill, it is a type of crustacean found in deep ocean water. Since, krill are naturally rich in essential DHA omega3 fatty acid, its oil packed in soft gels is sold as nutritional supplement. Is consumption of krill oil capsules value for money? Typically, a bottle of krill capsules that are available in the market contains 60 soft gels containing approx. 500mg of oil. Moreover, it costs you around $25 per bottle. You will be surprised to know that 500mg of oil comprises of only 45 mg of DHA fat. This is far less than the 250 mg of DHA, daily-recommended dosage for a healthy adult. This means that to have desired levels of DHA in the body, you have to take at least five krill oil pills. This further implies you have to spend $125 per month. Fish oil supplement containing oil extracted from oily fish like hoki, tuna, salmon, mackerel, etc have 150-300 mg of DHA per 1000mg of soft gel. The cost of a bottle, containing 60 pills of effective fish oil is very less as in comparison to krill oil supplements. My hoki-tuna blend fish supplement costs me less than $20. It has 280 mg of DHA per soft gel and it undergoes molecular distillation to ensure its pharmaceutical grade quality. Choice is yours; you can spend either $125 on krill oil supplements or $17 on hoki-tuna fish supplement, at the end of day you need to get desired levels of DHA.
