Man’s obsession with health has led him to partake of several chemicals to see how they would benefit his body overall. However, in a desperate attempt to keep them fit, human kind has overlooked the incredible threat that side effects pose to human health. So the problem has essentially been that a synthetic solution to health issues have given rise to more problems in a chain cause and effect pattern which has left many reeling at their attempts to keep themselves sufficiently healthy. The most obvious answer to most health problems caused to man has essentially been provided by nature.

Usually these solutions are overlooked either due to a desire to get a quick fix solution for the problem or more visibly because of a lack of knowledge on the subject. Krill oil derived from aquatic creatures found at the lower end of the food chain called krill has been one of nature’s best replies to cholesterol problems, yet this solution is neglected because not many of us have heard of Krill oil and its medicinal properties. Krill oil is rich in Omega 3 fatty acids and is an effective anti oxidant due to its Astaxanthin content which prevents free radical damage to human tissue. The Omega 3 Fatty acids on the other hand are able to reduce LDL cholesterol levels and boost HDL cholesterol with ease thus helping the body regulate the quantity of bad or good cholesterol levels.

Krill oil is a very effective relief provider for Arthritis pain and to this effect this substance has been marketed in the capsule form to provide people with a ready solution across the medical desk. Krill oil is extracted heavily in Japan and Canada owing to the rich population of Krill in the surrounding oceans. All you need to do is consult your doctor to be safe in its use and you have a solution to several problems that have harassed you for a long time. Try it out and you wont be disappointed

Krill Oil: A Useful Supplement


Those who aren’t very fond of seafood may reconsider their stance after reading this, so be warned beforehand. This article deals with the advantages of the use of Krill Oil. Krill oil is a substance that is derived from the shrimp like creature called Krill. This form of aquatic life is found at the depths of the ocean and is usually food for the likes of aquatic creatures such as whales, turtles, fish, dolphins and other marine life.  They themselves feed on simple phytoplankton. So what exactly makes Krill Oil so important to human kind?

The answer is rather simple really. Firstly Krill Oil like Fish Oil contains a lot of Omega 3 Fatty Acids. These are of great nutritional value to the human body because of which Krill Oil is converted to a capsule form and marketed in different parts of the world. Moreover the fatty acid in question is present in richer quantity in the Krill Oil than the fish oil. Secondly, it is a very good antioxidant which is an essential component of a system that protects the human body against harm by free radicals. Krill Oil is also said to cause a reduction in LDL cholesterol levels, which are detrimental to the human body, by 34 % and increase HDL levels which are good for the human body by almost 43 %. This alone makes the substance such a popular and sought after one. Apart from this the substance is also known to reduce inflammation caused due to arthritis and is also effective in helping reduce the effects of Pre Menstrual Syndrome.

There are risks to negligent use particularly for those with pre existing health issues and thus should not be used without consulting a doctor. But when used it can definitely be a very helpful thing to have in your medicine cabinet.
