Krill oil

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Krill oil is made from krill. It contains Omega-3 fatty acids, a class of compounds reported to aid in lowering both cholesterol and blood pressure when used as a dietary supplement.^{[citation needed]}.

A clinical study conducted at University of Montreal concluded that Neptune Krill Oil (NKO) can significantly reduce dysmenorrhea and the emotional symptoms of premenstrual syndrome. ^[1]

Krill oil contains potent antioxidants that protect the oil causing it to be relatively stable.^{[citation needed]}.

The fishery for Antarctic Krill is relatively new. Little is known about the effect that the fishery poses to natural krill predators such as the Adelie Penguin and several baleen whales.^[2]
