The Best Krill Oil

Not all krill oils are created equal! There are 80 different species of krill. The Euphasis Superba or E Superba is considered the most potent and has the most health benefits.

The way the krill oil is processed is also an important consideration. The best processing does not use heat but a cold process to preserve the potency of the oil. Cold-extraction preserves more properties and increases absorption.

Krill from antartic is considered more desirable because of the low pollution levels when compared to the northern hemisphere.

it is also necessary to have the correct ratio between the Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids. A one to one ratio is ideal.

The key to the best krill oil is its absorbability! The finest krill oil is considered much more assimilable by the body than fish oil or other kinds of krill oil.

Some krill oil supplements also contain vitamin A, vitamin E, astaxanthin a powerful anti-oxidant and phospholipids.

Esterified krill oil also helps to dramatically increase bio-availability and use by the body.

It is like the old adage says "the proof is in the pudding". The key to the best krill oil benefits are the results that you experience personally after taking this all natural health supplement.
