New Exciting Research on Krill Oil
A recently published double-blind, controlled, randomized
trial on 70 women showed that Krill Oil dramatically improved
all emotional PMS symptoms including feeling overwhelmed,
anxiety, stress, irritability, and depression. After 45 and
90 days the NKOTM Krill Oil group on 2 g per day, had statistically
significant differences in both emotional and physical symptoms
including breast tenderness, joint pain and dysmenorrhea.
The fish oil group after 90 days only had statistically significant
reduction in weight gain, swelling and abdominal pain. (14)
Study subjects reported using 50% fewer analgesics on a dose
of 2 Krill Oil gelcaps daily. A recent study on 120 human
subjects (results to be published) compared the effects of
Fish oil vs. Krill Oil on hyperlipidemia. Krill Oil at a dose
of 1.5 grams per day was more effective than fish oil at reducing
glucose levels, total cholesterol, LDL, Cho1:HDL ratio and
at raising HDL levels. A 3 g dose of Krill Oil daily lowered
triglyceride levels as well. A mice study showed that Krill
Oil can significantly prevent the incidence of skin cancer
caused by chronic exposure to UV radiation.
As if that's not enough, Krill Oil also contains sphingomyelin,
a component of myelin sheath that surrounds nerve cells. Research
on Krill Oil's ability to improve MS and mercury's damage
to nerve cells is surely needed.
Safety:
A recent review on the safety of omega-3 fatty acids by the
US FDA concluded that a daily intake of EPA and DHA of up
to 3 g is GRAS (generally recognized as safe). Dosages as
high as 3-8 g of omega-3 fatty acids per day show virtually
no significant adverse effects. (15-17) Safety studies on
mice reveal no adverse effects from Krill Oil when given the
human equivalent of 9 g of EPA and DHA per day, or 7-11 times
the recommended dose for 6 months. 25 adult human volunteers
were given 2 gelcaps of Neptune Krill Oi1TM three times per
day for 2 months. Each gelcap contains 1 gram of Krill Oil.
No serious side effects or negative changes in blood chemistry
occurred. Some of the observed benefits include increased
ability to concentrate, decreased seasonal allergy symptoms,
increased skin hydration, improved hair texture, decreased
joint discomfort and minimized PMS emotional and physical
symptoms. Krill Oil has been proven safe even at dosages as
high as 10 grams per day.
