Do You Believe All of This Hype About Krill Oil Supplements
I had a little chuckle up my sleeve when I read an article on krill oil supplements just the other day. The writer said that the krill oil was 48 times more potent than regular fish oil in addressing your nutritional and dietary requirements. Wow, at last they have found a food source that will prevent starvation in the multitudes.
According to these people, we just need to give the starving a tablespoon of krill each day and it will be the equivalent of giving them 48tablespoons of food. I shouldn't be so hard on these people, they are just trying to make a living.
But the outrageous claims they make really get me going. Then they go on to say that this oil does not have the fishy aftertaste that fish oils do. Fresh fish oil has no taste whatsoever.
While it is true that the phospholipid form appears to be absorbed better by our bodies than 'normal' triglyceride fish oils, it is not considered better than the ester form that most ethical manufacturers use. They are believed to be on a par. Furthermore, you obtain phospholipids by eating eggs, peanuts, soybeans, fish, legumes and products that contain yeast.
In fact exactly what you would ingest by eating a normal diet.
I am finding it hard to be impartial in writing this article, because that article I read, got right up my nose. Then they go on about the krill oil supplements antioxidants. While it is true that they have antioxidant properties, the antioxidants are there for the preservation of the oil. It does not act as an efficient antioxidant in our body. I have read that krill is eaten by both the Japanese and the Russians.
The proponents of krill oil supplements say that they are free of contaminants.
However research has shown that these crustaceans are contaminated by organochlorine pesticides, which are absorbed by them and passed onto the rest of the food chain. The manufacturers of this oil do not seem to believe this, and they put the people who buy this product, at risk of ingesting these pesticides and toxic pollutants.
Not only do you have to pay 8 times more to get the same amount of DHA found in molecularly distilled Omega 3/DHA fish oils, but you do not have a purified product.
