Krill Omega 3 Fish Oils Help Metabolic Symptoms

Omega-3s fish oils from krill may be beneficial to helping one correct some metabolic symptoms, particularly elevated fat levels in the heart and liver. Another strange way pure krill oil has been proven to help is with violent mood swings.

Researchers are not entirely clear what mechanism allow these positive benefits to occur, but their studies suggest the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids have been tested to reduce activity in the endocannabinoid system. The endocannabinoid system is a group of neromadulatory lipids and receptors. They influence pain sensation, memory, and appetite, an ironic collection of important symptoms.

Krill oil reduced in a rat study heart fat by 42 percent compared to fish oils which only did so at two percent. Furthermore, krill oil reduced liver fat by as much as 60 percent compared to fish oil at 38 percent. Fat build up in our livers often leads to type 2 diabetes as a result of insulin resistance sometimes called Syndrome X.

Natural Biology produces a pure krill oil taken from the Arctic Ocean where the krill oil is process on board the ship to increase efficacy and potency. Some krill oils are diluted and some companies have promoted 300mg as a daily dosage but 1000mg of non-diluted pure krill oil should be taken for the standard maintenance amount for the typical American, and possibly 2000mg if a therapeutic benefit is needed.
