Patients who took 1  to 1.5 grams of krill oil a day\u2014compared to three times the dose of fish  oil\u2014showed a significantly greater decrease in bad cholesterol than the fish  oil patients. <strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In  an Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) test, krill oil was shown to  contain 300 times the amount of vitamin A and E, plus 48 times the antioxidant  power of standard omega-3 fish oils. <\/p>\n<p>Omega  fatty acids are essential for your diet\u2014and should be supplemented since your  body doesn\u2019t produce them on its own. These fatty acids are the best source to  help prevent blood clotting, lower blood pressure and relive inflammation.<\/p>\n<p>Krill  oil contains a healthy balance of omega-3 fatty acid and omega-6 fatty  acid\u2014which helps fight infection. These two fatty acids need each other and  work together to prevent other inflammation-related ailments like heart  disease, arthritis and diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>Phospholipids  are fats that help keep your cells functioning by providing a protective  membrane around each cell to block out toxins and disease-forming free  radicals. The fats found in krill oil most closely resemble the phospholipids  found in your brain that are responsible for maintaining the brain chemical  that controls your memory, muscle function, mood, sleep patterns and organs  like your heart. <\/p>\n<p>Results  from laboratory tests show that krill oil contains a powerful cocktail of  antioxidants, which are not only beneficial for your continued health, but also  sustain the shelf life of the oil. <\/p>\n<p>Krill  oil provides you with an ample supply of vitamins A, E and D, plus minerals  such as potassium, sodium and zinc. And it also contains large amounts of the  B-complex choline. <\/p>\n<p>However,  the most powerful antioxidant in krill oil is astaxanthin. This nutrient is  responsible for fighting free radicals within the body and protecting the  blood-brain barrier\u2014which means it protects the eye, brain and central nervous  system from free radical damage. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Krill Oil for Your  Aching Joints<\/strong><br \/>\n  If  you suffer from creaking, cracking joints\u2026 stiff hands and fingers\u2026 lingering  back pain\u2026 or sore swollen legs due to recurrent inflammation, then krill oil  may be the miracle you have been searching for.<\/p>\n<p>In  a double-blind study, 45 patients with rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis  were administered 300 mg of krill oil. After only seven days, inflammation was  reduced by 19 percent, pain was reduced 24 percent, stiffness was reduced by 21  percent and immobility was reduced by 16 percent.<\/p>\n<p>How  does this all-natural pain reliever work so well? It\u2019s the combination of the  trio of anti-inflammatory ingredients\u2014omega fatty acids, phospholipids and  numerous powerful antioxidants. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Ease Your Symptoms  of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)<\/strong><br \/>\n  In  a randomized, double-blind study, researchers in Montreal studied the effects of krill oil on  PMS, and patients reported a significant improvement in all 10 physical and  mental symptoms examined and measured.
