NKO Krill Oil is an alternative Omega-3 supplement, It has been clearly established by science studies that Pure NKO (Neptune Krill Oil) is 300 times greater in ORAC value than Vitamin A and Vitamin E, and over 48 times greater than that of standard omega-3 fish oil supplements.

NKO Krill Oil has two major health components that promote health naturally:

• Omega-3 fatty acids
• Lecithin and antioxidants.

Other Kril oil benefits include:

• Support for menstrual comfort
• Healthy cardiovascular function
• Powerful joint and skin health
• Mental alertness and daily endurance
• Harvested, processed and tested to be free of PCB and heavy metals.

NKO Krill Oil is Extracted from a species of krill called Eupausia superb found in the Antarctic and is also known as Antarctic Krill Oil. Antarctic pure krill oil is a great value when compared to other krill oil products. It does not have side effects of fish oil supplements like allergy symptoms, fish breath, or a fishy taste in the mouth.

NKO krill softgels have no transfer odor that can cling to your clothing or hands when you take them either. For some takers of supplements there’s a morning battle of holding their noses, washing their pills down with ginger ale or grinding their pills up in coffee grinder. That’s just not an issue with NKO Krill softgels with no smell or taste to stink up a perfectly good morning. (Legal notice:  NKO Neptune Krill Oil is a trademark of Source Naturals.)

krill oil also reduces the risk of heart attacks: it keeps cholesterol at healthy levels, reduces bad cholesterol, and has anti-inflammatory properties that are very beneficial for your cardiovascular system.

Another benefit of krill oil is that it is extremely rich in antioxidants – chemicals that mop up free radicals. (Free radicals damage DNA and other biological molecules in cells. They cause ageing, cancer and other problems.) Specifically, the EPA part of the phospholipids inkrill oil has an antioxidant known as astaxanthin attached to it. All in all, the antioxidant properties of krill oil are over 40 times as powerful as those of fish oil. Astaxanthin protects your skin against the harmful effects of UV rays, among other things.

A number of research studies have shown krill oil to have even greater beneficial effects than fish oil on depression and other mood and personality disorders. In some cases, in experiments comparing fish oil and krill oil, only krill oil had beneficial effects on brain function and depression. Scientists* think this might be due to one or both of the following factors:

(1) krill oil contains a greater proportion of EPA than fish oil, and EPA seems to be the crucial omega-3 fatty acid in brain health – more so than DHA;

(2) as mentioned above, in krill oil, DHA and EPA occur in phospholipids, not triglycerides, and this makes it much easier for the body to incorporate them into cell membranes.

Other studies have shown krill oil to have benefits on adult ADHD, pre-menstrual tension (PMS) and dysmenorrhea.
