World Renowned Magazine Stumbles with False Report about Krill Oil: Find Out the Truth

You’ve probably heard the buzz about the health benefits of fish oil, and more recently krill oil. Unfortunately, you may also have a negative take on krill oil because of false reports by such magazines as Time Online. These highly respected magazines have stated that krill oil consumption by health-conscious consumers may be endangering wildlife due to “over-harvesting.” But that’s just not the case. Keep reading for the truth about this amazing nutrient. . .


Are Oceanic Wildlife Really in Danger?
False reports by news sources such as Time Online have stated that consumers are endangering wildlife due to consumption of krill oil and “over harvesting.” The magazines claimed that harvesting krill for human consumption was potentially robbing the main food staple of birds and marine animals and causing the whales to go hungry.

Unfortunately, these reports were based on incomplete information reported by National Geographic Magazine. On the contrary, there is no harm being done to any wildlife or species either by harvesting krill, or the methods used to harvest krill. The truth is that krill make up the largest biomass in the world. There are simply more krill on the planet than any other creature!

What are the Health Benefits of Krill Oil?
Krill oil supplements are beneficial for your health in many ways. They provide antioxidants that your body needs to have a healthy immune system. Krill oil has the properties to potentially benefit every part of your body including your digestive system and lymphatic system. People who take krill oil supplements report that they feel better and get less colds and sickness than those who take other types of supplements. Krill oil is considered to have more than 300 times the antioxidant power of both vitamins A and E combined.

Krill oil is also thought to be much more effective than omega fish oils when it comes to preventing heart disease and cancer. While it is well known that fish oils contain omega-3s, krill oil is even more potent. It actually may be your best option for obtaining high quality animal-based omega-3 fats. It contains essential EPA and DHA in a structure that makes it far more absorbable than the omega-3s in fish oil. In fact, some experts feel that krill oil is nothing short of a miracle from nature when it comes to good health. 

In addition to benefiting the heart, digestive system and immune system, krill oil is also beneficial for the brain and is said to help with memory retention.

Krill oil supplements can be found in many health food stores and online catalog sites.

If you were concerned about the impact that harvesting krill oil has on oceanic wildlife, you can now breathe a sigh of relief. Not only are the practices safe and non-threatening, they are bringing you an option for a healthier, longer life!
