Is Krill Oil better than Fish Oil?

Is Krill Oil better than the regular fish oil available in the market? Jayson Hunter of Prograde Nutrition reveals three reasons why krill oil is better than fish oil. He believes that one of the reasons why krill oil is becoming so popular is it is a good source of essential fatty acids (EFAs). But, unlike fish oil, krill oil is easily absorbed by the body.

Hunter explains, “Krill oil is a naturally occurring oil that is taken from krills, which are small crustaceans resembling a shrimp. Krill oil is a powerful antioxidant which is absolutely essential for everyone since it helps provide support for various bodily functions and improves our overall health and fitness”.

Three reasons why krill oil is better than fish oil:

1) It contains easily absorbable EFAs compared to fish oil. It does not contain the high concentrations of pollutants and heavy metals found in fish.

2) Krill oil has antioxidant properties which are nearly 40 times greater than regular fish oil. Numerous studies over the years have proved that antioxidants have numerous health benefits. They are extremely important for the human body as they improve overall immunity and promote good health.

3) Krill oil like fish oil is known to help reduce the levels of bad cholesterol in the body. But, it is far more effective than regular fish oil. Studies have shown that krill oil helped reduce bad cholesterol levels by up to 30% compared with only about 10% reduction from fish oil.

About Prograde Nutrition: Launched in April of 2007, Florida based Prograde Nutrition was created by two fitness professionals concerned with the lack of an ethical dietary supplement company for personal trainers to refer clients to. Prograde does not make its products available in any stores. Instead, customers can only find them online, or through fitness experts they term "Prograde Pros."

The success of the company is largely in part to the faith of the personal training community in the company's founders, Jim Labadie, Ryan Lee, Jayson Hunter and Sammy See.
