Antarctic Krill Oil = Marine Source Omega 3, EPA/DHA The benefits of Antarctic Krill Oil have been reported in numerous published medical studies. Pure Scientific is the oldest supplier of Antarctic Krill Oil to physicians in North America. Some websites suggest that all krill oil is the same or that all krill oil harvested from the same world region will offer the same results. As of yet, there are no other comparable published medical studies to prove the efficacy of krill products that are not derived from Euphasia superba (Antarctic Krill). For example, the nutritional profiles of Pacific Krill and freshwater Krill are very different from Euphasia superba (Antarctic Krill). Used in Double-Blind Studies*Double blind placebo controlled studies have compared Antarctic Krill Oil to Fish oil and found Pure Antarctic Krill oil to be superior in these categories: Lipid Management, Joint Health & Menstrual Comfort.

In fact, subjects taking only 1gm of Antarctic Krill oil (2 - 500mg softgels) and had a better lipid profile than those taking 3gm of fish oil. Antarctic Krill Oil is a superior choice for maintaining healthy cholesterol levels already in the normal range.

Antarctic Krill Oil Supports Healthy Joint Function & Mobility*Antarctic Krill Oil supports mobility and healthy joint function. A placebo-controlled study of 90 patients with increased levels of C-Reactive Protein (a marker of inflammation) showed that only 300 mg of Antarctic Krill Oil was a sufficient amount to elicit objective improvement in laboratory values and improved joint comfort and mobility within a period of 7-14 days. Antarcti-Krill™ provides 500 mg per softgel. For more information, please see: Journal of the American College of Nutrition, Volume 26, Number 1, 2007, p 39-48. Luisa Deutsch, MD, MSc. Antarctic Krill Oil Supports Menstrual Comfort*In a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study of 70 women, consumption of Antarctic Krill Oil was far more beneficial than fish oil in managing their premenstrual discomfort. For the first month, women in the Antarctic Krill Oil group took 2000 mg (4 softgels) daily for 30 days, then for the next two months they took 1000 mg (2 softgels) 8 days before and 2 days during their menstrual cycle. The article concludes: Antarctic Krill Oil can significantly improve menstrual comfort and is shown to be significantly more effective compared to omega-3 fish oil.

The USDA developed a test to measure antioxidant capacity of nutrients called the ORAC - "Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity" test. Antarctic Krill Oil proved to be the ultimate super fat soluble antioxidant - outscoring Vitamin E and Fish Oil by a wide margin. Pure Krill Oil from Euphasia superba stands alone as one of the highest ORAC value, fat-soluble natural source antioxidants available worldwide. ORAC Scores of Common Antioxidants*In the USDA-developed test determining antioxidant capacity, Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) Antarctic Krill Oil from Antarctica's Pristine Waters*While fish oils are valuable for their Omega-3 essential fatty acids, Federal & international authorities are warning against consumption of large fish because of the marine contamination at this level in the food chain. By contrast, Krill are small marine crustaceans living at the bottom of the marine food chain. Best of all, unlike fish oil derived from predator species subject to bioaccumulation, Pure-Krill™ Omega-3 is at the bottom of the marine food chain. Pure Krill's™ purity & unique source of natural phospholipids containing Omega-3 fatty acids makes Pure Krill™ a superior essential fatty acid and antioxidant. Unlike Fish Oil, Antarctic Krill Oil is Reflux Free*Because of its unique phospholipid composition, Antarcti-Krill™ won't bother you after you take it because unlike fish oil, Pure Krill™ is reflux free. This is an important benefit for those who really don’t like to taste fish throughout the day - especially useful for sensitive individuals, the elderly and children. Provides Essential Fatty Acids: EPA & DHA*The Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs), EPA & DHA are critical to the health and development of the brain and the body. Antarctic Krill oil contains 3 EPA & DHA-rich phospholipids as well as antioxidant protection from naturally occurring Vitamins A, E, Astaxanthin and marine flavonoids unique just to Antarctic Krill. Compared to Pacific krill, Antarctic Krill offers higher concentrations of Omega-3 EPA and DHA. Essential Fatty Acid (EFA) supplementation is so important because the body does not produce EFAs, it acts on them. EFAs are required for important biochemical reactions which occur when you consume EFAs, which then make:
Over time, you can notice the difference of proper Essential Fatty Acid supplementation by the appearance and feel of your skin, hair and nails as well as joint mobility. Role of EPA/DHA Phopholipids & Why is Choline So Important?*Choline is an essential nutrient that needs to be consumed to maintain health. The majority of the body's choline is found in specialized fat molecules known as phospholipids. Antarcti-Krill provides unique phospholipids which are involved in Structural integrity of cell membranes, nerve impulse transmission, cell signaling, Lipid (fat) transport and metabolism. For more technical information on choline, click here: http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/infocenter/othernuts/choline/ Pure Krill™ is a good source of phosphatidylcholine, an important brain nutrient most commonly derived from soy. Great news for people on soy-restricted diets. Pure Krill™ Supports Healthy Brain Nutrition*The human brain has the highest density of phospholipid-rich membranes in the body. The high DHA content in krill oil phospholipids make it a superior choice to support healthy brain phospholipids and Omega-3 fatty acid balance. Pure Krill™ oil naturally contains additional nutrients beneficial in supporting brain health, including vitamin E, Vitamin A, Beta Carotene and Astaxanthin. Pure Krill™ is Highly Stable*Compared to other unsaturated fatty acids, krill oil is remarkably stable. To maintain integrity, essential fatty acids must be stored under refrigeration, in dark containers. By contrast, Pure Krill™ oil retains its stability under high temperatures (97.8C) close to the boiling point of water, for over 48 hours!...this gives you assurance that it is stable and not rancid. Pure Krill’s stability is just another way in which it is far superior to fish oil, which is far more perishable Pure Krill™ is Sustainably Harvested*Antarcti-Krill™ is produced by a proprietary, low temperature extraction process and is harvested from the icy cold pristine waters of the Antarctic Ocean. Antarcti-Krill™ has been sustainably harvested under International treaties that protect the environment by regulating oceanic harvesting practices to help the ecosystem maintain a healthy, sustainable krill population. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food & Drug Administration.
