NKO Krill Oil

NKO 100% pure Neptune Krill Oil from Longevity Science is a superior form of fish oil made from Neptune Krill - tiny shrimp-like crustacea harvested from the pristine oceans surrounding Antarctica.

NKO Krill Oil is rich in astaxanthin, a natural carotenoid which is more powerful than beta carotene. Krill Oil has over 300 times the antioxidant power of Vitamin C or Vitamin E, over 34 times the power of CoQ10, and more than 47 times the power lutein, according to ORAC testing methods. ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity which is a method of measuring antioxidant capacities of nutritional supplements.

Along with antioxidants, NKO Krill Oil also contains phospholipids and omega-3 fatty acids. Phospholipids are the primary structures of human cell membranes and the "gatekeepers" of cells. Phsphatidyl-choline is the most predominant phospholipid in Krill Oil and is a precursor for the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, and for trimethylglycine, a methyl donor and known liver protector.

NKO Krill Oil has been the subject of 3 recent human controlled studies.

• In the 1st NKO Krill Oil has shown to significantly decrease elevated C-reactive protein levels. It is well-known that high CRP is an important indicator of risk of coronary heart disease, specifically athersclerosis, which in turn may give rise of ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction and stroke. The study involved 90 pateints, 45 receiving 300 mg of NKO Krill Oil daily, 45 receiving a placebo. There was over a 30% mean decrease in C-reactive protein levels in the NKO Krill Oil group after 30 days.

• The 2nd involved 120 patients with hyperlipidemia (elevated blood lipids). The study included groups receiving placebo, receiving 3 g fish oil daily, and those receiving 1 g, 1.5 g, 2 g, 3 g NKO Krill Oil daily for 90 days. After ninety days, all NKO Krill Oil groups showed significant decreases in total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides, and simultaneous increases in HDL cholesterol. In the 1 g and 1.5 g Krill Oil groups, the patients were kept on a maintenance dose of 500 mg daily for another ninety days, and each group maintained significant corrections in all four markers as compared with baseline values.

• The 3rd study involved Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS). In a controlled published study, 70 patients with PMS were asked to take either 2 g NKO Krill Oil or 2 g of 18:12 fish oil daily for 30 days, then continue dosing eight days prior to and two days after menstruation, for a total study time of three months. After both 45 and 90 days, there was a greater statistically significant improvement over a broader range of PMS symptoms in the NKO Krill Oil Group over the group taking fish oil. Symptoms improved by NKO Krill Oil included
  • breast tenderness
  • stress
  • irritability
  • depression
  • joint pain
  • abdominal pain
  • weight gain
  • bloating.

NKO krill oil is guaranteed to have less than one-tenth of one PPM (part per million) of cadmium, mercury and lead, and less than 0.2 PPB (part per billion) of PCBs. NKO Krill oil is tested for these and other contaminants, and must conform to set standards for purity.

DIRECTIONS: Two softgels daily with the first meal for 30 days, then 1 softgel thereafter, or as recommended by your health care professional.
