Dr. Louis Ignarro: Neptune Krill – The Omega-3 Plus Added Benefits
Saturday, May 21, 2011
Some Omega-3 sources are better than others
Omega-3 fats are important for cardiovascular, joint, and mental health. The most common source of Omega-3 fats is fish body oils. Neptune Krill Oil is a new source of Omega-3 that offers some benefits that fish oil does not.
Phospholipids – Neptune Krill Oil is rich in phospholipids. Found in all life forms, phospholipids are the prime building blocks of life. The most pivotal function of phospholipids for life is in maintaining the integrity of cell membrane systems. Dietary phospholipid intake on the part of most people in the West has declined, mainly due to increased food refining and processing. Phospholipids are not present in fish oil.
Antioxidant value - Neptune Krill Oil has an antioxidant capacity 47 times greater than fish oil.
Cholesterol – Neptune Krill Oil can help maintain healthy LDL and HDL cholesterol levels within the normal range. Claims that fish oil can’t make.
Liver Health - The liver is the workhorse organ of the body, and it depends heavily on the membrane phospholipids to optimally process newly absorbed nutrients, and detoxify thousands of potentially toxic incoming chemicals.
