Is it Too Good to Be True?
Wrinkle-fighting power
Woman's World reports: "Woman who downed krill oil in clinical trials reported an improvement in the look and feel of their hair, skin and nails, along with a 58% reduction in wrinkling, redness and other skin problems."
This result was obtained in the Hyperlipidemia trial of 120 patients after taking krill oil for a period of 180 days at a dose of 1.5 grams per day (3 - 500 mg softgels per day) for the first 30 days, then 0.5 grams per day (1 softgel) for the remainder of the study period.
Impressive health benefits
As reported in Woman's World: "Study subjects who started taking krill saw their levels of artery-clogging LDL cholesterol plunge 44% and their triglycerides drop 20%, while levels of artery-clearing HDLs soared 38%. That's enough to cut your heart attack risk in half!"
From the study "Evaluation of the effectiveness of NKO on the clinical management of Hyperlipidemia", the chart below shows the effect after the first 90 days of taking krill oil at a dose of 1 gram (2 softgels) per day for the first 30 days, than 0.5 grams (1 softgel) per day thereafter.
These results were reported for the Hyperlipidemia study of 120 men and women who took 2 - 500 mg softgels of krill oil for 30 days, then a dose of 1 - 500 mg softgel for an additional 60 days. This study was designed as a prospective, randomized double blind phase II clinical trial.
Lack of side effects
Woman's World reports: "Although the study-proven dose is 500 mg. daily, patients have taken up to 20 times more without negative effects."
In a number of cases, the initial dose was actually 2 to 3 -- 500 mg softgels, with no side effects reported. One trial group in the Hyperlipidemia study used an dose of 3 gm (6 softgels) for the initial 30 days.
Long-term Krill Oil safety has been evaluated with a 6-month animal study using mice. Six months in mice lifespan is equivalent to 27 human years. The mice were fed krill oil amounting to 16.6% of their daily diet. Human equivalent dosage corresponds to 23.1 grams of krill oil (for a 70kg or 154 pound person) or 7 – 11 times the recommended dose. No adverse effects were reported. No pathological findings upon examination of brain, lungs, heart, stomach, pancreas, liver, kidneys, uterus / prostate, intestine, or skin.
The results of the present toxicity assessment confirm that Neptune Krill Oil™ can be considered as safe for human consumption even at 2 to 3 times the highest recommended dose.
Note: People with a known allergy to fish or seafood were not tested in this study. The precaution remains that in the case of fish or seafood allergies, professional allergy testing is advised prior to consumption of Neptune Krill Oil™.
