Krill oil - Nature Cures®

Krill oil (Euphausia superba): is a nutrient dense oil that comes from krill, a tiny, bottom-of-the-food-chain crustacean approximately one to six centimetres in length, and are a dietary staple for whales, small fish and seabirds. Krill exists in large numbers and are an integral part of the aquatic food chain.

They feed on phytoplankton and are found in all the world’s oceans. One species known as the Antarctic krill makes up an estimated biomass of over 500,000,000 tons, which is roughly twice that of all humans on earth.

The reason the oil from krill has gained popularity is because it contains the antioxidant astaxanthin. This is what gives the bright red pigment to the oil and is what colours krill and other crustaceans such as lobsters, crabs, and prawns.

The oil from krill is reported to have a higher concentration of eicosapentaenoic acid and also reduces or eliminates the fishy burps associated with taking traditional fish oil.

Inflammation is associated with Alzheimer’s disease, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer and many other chronic illnesses. The powerful antioxidants in krill oil can reduce inflammation and thus protect from, and treat, these disorders.

What are the benefits of daily consumption of krill oil

Healthy cell membrane formation.
Hormone production.
Development and functioning of the brain and nervous system.
Regulation of blood pressure, blood sugar, liver and pancreas function, immune and inflammatory responses.
Thyroid and adrenal activity.
Breakdown and transportation of cholesterol.
Healthy skin and hair.
Regulation of blood clotting (omega-6 encourages blood clot formation, whereas omega-3 oil reduces clotting, making the goal to achieve balance between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids).

NOTE: Individuals taking anticoagulants or blood thinners such as warfarin, heparin or high dose aspirin therapy should be aware that krill oil can increase the anti-coagulating properties of their medication, possibly prolonging bleeding time. It may also lower blood pressure and blood sugar levels, so patients taking medications for these conditions should check with a healthcare professional before beginning krill oil therapy.
