Aceite de krill

El krill antártico juega un papel importante en el ecosistema marino como alimento para la mayoría de los peces. El krill es una fuente conocida de ácidos grasos omega-3 altamente biodisponibles.

El aceite de krill contiene una composición única de lípidos con una alta concentración de fosfolípidos, ácido eicosapentaenoico (EPA) y ácido docosahexaenoico (DHA). También contiene cantidades considerables de otros componentes bioactivos como astaxantina, esteroles, tocoferoles, vitamina A, flavonoides y minerales.[1,2] La fórmula NKO™ es una combinación sinérgica de ácidos grasos esenciales, fosfolípidos y antioxidantes.

Gracias a la astaxantina, el aceite de krill es más duradero y no se vuelve rancio como los aceites de pescado tradicionales. Nuestro suplemento de aceite de krill NKO™ no tiene un regusto desagradable a pescado. Además, no provoca ni empeora la acidez de estómago. Tampoco causa otros efectos secundarios.

El aceite de krill muestra varios beneficios para la salud, incluidos efectos antiinflamatorios, prevención de enfermedades cardiovasculares y neuroprotección.[1,2]

Benefits at a Glance:

• Prevención de enfermedades cardiovasculares

• Muestra efectos reductores de triglicéridos

• Muestra efectos antiinflamatorios

• Muestra efectos neuroprotectores

• Apoya la salud de las articulaciones

• Sin regusto a pescado, acidez de estómago u otros efectos secundarios

Cardiovascular health

Important risk factors of Cardiovascular diseases include high blood pressure, high serum triglycerides, low HDL-cholesterol level, endothelial dysfunction and tendency to thrombosis and inflammation.[12]

Large number of studies shows that EPA and DHA lower triglycerides [12,13], lower the blood pressure (both systolic and diastolic) [12,13,14], regulate heart function and stabilizing the heart rate [12,13,15-17], reduce platelet aggregation [12,18] and reduce the level of triglycerides.

It has been proven that the use of omega-3 fatty acids reduces mortality from cardiovascular diseases.

Krill oil lowers triglyceride levels

Krill oil supplementation lowers serum triglycerides without increasing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in adults with borderline high or high triglyceride levels.[6,7]            

In a 12-weeks trial, 300 male and female subjects were included in a double-blind, randomized, multi-center, placebo-controlled study with five treatment groups: placebo (olive oil) or 0.5, 1, 2, or 4 g/day of krill oil.[6,7] 

Serum lipids were measured after an overnight fast at baseline, 6 and 12 weeks. Relative to subjects in the placebo group, those administered krill oil had a statistically significant calculated reduction in serum triglyceride levels of 10.2%. Moreover, LDL levels were not increased in the krill oil groups relative to the placebo group. The outcome of the pooled analysis suggests that krill oil is effective in reducing a cardiovascular risk factor.[6,7] 

Krill oil shows anti-inflammatory effects

As fish oils, also krill oil increase plasma and cell membrane concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids.

Astaxanthin, found in krill oil, is a poten antioxidant which has been shown to also have anti-inflammatory. Those properties may help fight the negative effects of free radicals on brain and nervous system. [4] Astaxanthin also boost mitochondrial function.

Krill oil shows neuroprotective effects

Omega-3 fatty acids found in krill oil have better bioavailability than those derived from fish oil. In krill oil, EPA and DHA are found as fospholipids whille in fish oil, the DHA and EPA are found as triglycerides.[4] Krill oil contains ultra-potent phospholipids that may help to maintain normal brain function. Phospholipids also enhances cell signaling which is crucial for both, healthy nervous system and brain functions.[3]

Human studies confirm cognition and memory improvement with Krill's omega-3 supplementation. One study showed that krill oil enhanced cognitive function in a group of older men by increasing oxygen delivery to their brains. DHA in krill oil is bound to phospholipids, thus it why is more effectively incorporated into the critical cell membrane in brain cells. [3]

Krill oil supports joint health

Krill oil may reduce arthritis and joint pain. Ninety patients were participated with diagnosed cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. One group received 300 mg of krill oil daily and second group received a placebo. The study showed that krill oil at a daily dose of 300 mg significantly inhibits inflammation and reduces arthritic symptoms within a short treatment period of 7 and 14 days.[10,11]

In a 6-month multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, Krill oil improved osteoarthritic knee pain in adults with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis.[9]
