Barleans Wild & Whole Krill Oil, 60 gels
Barlean's Superba Krill oil is a pure and renewable nutrition source from the icy, pristine waters of Antarctica and is 100% unfiltered and unrefined. Superba is the only source of krill that is certified to the rigorous Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) standards to ensure sustainability.
Loaded with premium, Phospholipid-bound Omega-3s and Antioxidants, our potent, tiny gel caps are more readily absorbed by your body than standard fish oil products.
The omega-3 fatty acids in krill oil are stored in a different biochemical form than fish oil. In krill oil, much of the fatty acid is stored as phospholipids. These have a simpler digestive process than other forms of fatty acids.
Early research indicates your body can absorb the fatty acids in krill oil more easily than it can from fish oil or plants. Krill oil contains a very potent antioxidant called astaxanthin.
Antioxidants protect your cells from damage from free radicals. Free radicals form when your body oxidizes the air that you breathe, breaks down foods, or encounters environmental hazards like smoke and radiation.
Typically, antioxidants fight only one free radical at a time. Like fish oil, krill oil contains fatty acids that can help reduce cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood and improve circulation.
A study by Canadian researchers found that krill oil can help women manage the emotional symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and painful periods.
Some study participants took krill oil for three menstrual cycles; others took fish oil. The women taking krill oil reported needing fewer painkillers than those who took fish oil. krill oil reduces the inflammation of arthritis.
A study of 90 people reported in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition found that krill oil reduced arthritis pain and stiffness within one to two weeks. Low levels of omega-3s can cause cognitive decline, or a loss of memory and thinking skills, so krill oil helps brain function.
Krill oil has the ability to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, ease the itchy red plaques of psoriasis, strengthen nails, and make hair appear thicker.

What's driving all this activity on the Barlean's family farm in Ferndale? The realization that 8 out of 10 Americans are deficient in essentail fats, called Omega-3 fatty acids. The health consequences of this nutritional deficiency are extensive.
Health authorities, such as Artemis Simopoulos M.D., author of The Omega Plan, indicates disorders such as heart and blood vessel disease, eye problems such as dry eyes and macular degeneration, mood and behavior problems such as attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity, autoimmune disorders such as arthritis, diabetes and lupus, skin problems such as psoriasis, and even cancer, may materialize from this common nutritional deficiency.
