Krill Oil is a dietary supplement extracted from the body of Krill, a shrimp like marine water animal living in the cold Antarctic Ocean. This oil is free from the high risk of contaminants of other fish oils as the krill lives in the purest unpolluted natural water in the world. It is used for the same benefits people use fish oil but this is more useful on many other counts. It contains astaxanthin an effective antioxidant that prevents ageing. It is considered as one of the most effective anti ageing element as it goes beyond the brain- blood barrier to protect the attack of free radical damage to central nervous system, eye and brain. The level of absorption in the body is more in this oil than any fish oil. It contains phospholipids that absorbs at a faster rate in our body than triglycerides present in the fish oils. This oil is free from all unpleasant taste, after taste, fishy burps or odor of fish oils. The Krill oil has therapeutic properties in the following ailments:
High Cholesterol, Arthritis, Premenstrual syndrome (PMS), Improvement of Brain function, Skin Problem, Poor Joints and Bone Health or persistent inflammation related to osteoarthritis, Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), Diabetes, improves all cognitive functions especially in adults, improves body's immune system.
You can store the softgels of this extract in the refrigerator at 4 degrees Celsius, but since use of desiccants is not permitted in the bottle, they may get stickier due to the moist condition in the refrigerator. The phospholipids have a tendency to separate from Omega- 3 fatty acids in the softgels. Some white spots might appear in the softgels due to this nature of phospholipids-do not take this as an indication that the softgels are not good any more. If you store them in the refrigerator for some time, little fishy smells of the softgels get reduced.
These dietary supplements in liquid form have a strong fishy flavour. Some of the supplements are processed by eliminating elements of bad test contents. Some manufacturers cover the strong natural flavour and taste by adding fruit flavours. People who are highly sensitive to taste or flavour can opt for softgels. They are easy to swallow and have no noticeable taste or flavour.
All Krill oil is produced by Neptune technology and the same is distributed among various supplement manufacturers over the world. So they come from different manufacturers but of one origin. The only thing you never know how long the oil was stored in the warehouse before conversion to softgels. However, the oxidant content like Astaxanthin prevents it from going rancid.
Although all the Krill oil come from the same source but are processed in the dietary supplements in the form of softgels and liquids by different manufactures differently. That makes the differences in the quality and price. If it is possible, know about the process of manufacture before selecting a brand. Check the label of the supplement for date of manufacture and best before. Buy the one with highest phospholipids contents.
