What is Krill Oil?

Usually, Krill mainly inhabits the Antarctic region. Although it looks like a shrimp, its biological classification is different from that of shrimp. It belongs to the order Euphausiacea and is the main food source for whales, seals, penguins and other creatures. Krill oil extracted from krill is rich in omega-3 fatty acids (EPA, DHA), so it is often compared with fish oil.

To understand the efficacy of krill oil, you must first understand the three main components of krill oil: omega-3 fatty acids, astaxanthin and choline, from which to analyze the benefits of krill oil to the human body

1. Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Actually, Omega-3 fatty acids are unsaturated fatty acids that cannot be synthesized by the human body and must be ingested through food. Omega-3 helps regulate blood lipids, lower cholesterol, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. In addition, the ratio of EPA to DHA in krill oil’s omega-3 fatty acids is 2:1, making it easier to enter human cell membranes and better absorbed than fish oil.

2.Astaxanthin

Astaxanthin is a kind of carotenoid with strong antioxidant capacity. So many health foods will add astaxanthin to achieve antioxidant effect. Krill oil is a good source of astaxanthin. It can provide good antioxidant power for the human body, slow down the aging of the body, and maintain health and vitality.

3.Choline

Usually, Choline exists in phosphatidylcholine in krill oil. Its main function is to help fat metabolism and expel toxins from the body. Also, it can also promote the synthesis of neurotransmitters and improve memory.
