Mickey Schuett, founder and former president of NeuroNutrition, discusses the advantages of krill oil as a leading supplement for getting Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids.

NKO (Neptune Krill Oil) was the first company to successfully extract the oil from krill. Krill is a crustacean, but it is not a bottom-feeder. It is the main food source of whales, dolphins and penguins. Since it is a cold, deep-water organism that eats algae – krill oil has an advantage over regular fish oil in that it also provides a rich source of antioxidants.

Krill oil gets accepted and absorbed into the blood stream more easily than other kinds of fish or flax seed oil. Benefits include helping brain and heart health, people over 40 years old, post pregnancy, PMS relief, children with attention deficit disorder (ADD) and improved cholesterol levels.

Very low mercury is transmitted from Krill since they don’t live long enough to get mercury build up (approximately 12 months). The most important thing about fatty acids is simple, that the body needs them. Krill oil can be purchased from many resources, a couple of which include PrimeMetabolics.com and Mercola.com
