Krill, aside from being considered a delicacy in some countries, produces oil that may quite possibly be the most important supplement that you’ve never heard of!

Health enthusiasts and supplement experts are constantly talking about the benefits of fish oil, but contrary to popular belief, not all fish oil is the same!..

Why choose Krill-TS over other fish oil products?

You’ll often see fish oil at supermarkets or on the shelves of local and corporate supplement shops with a sticker saying “top quality” or “premium blend.” – DO NOT be fooled by outdated science! – The simple fact of the matter is that none of these products encapsulate the freshness, potency, purity, or effectiveness of the krill oil found in Krill-TS.

Krill-TS is not like any other fish oil on the market today!

Salmon is out, and ultra high-quality Krill-TS is in! Not only is Krill heavier in antioxidants than regular fish oil, but its purity and potency is longer lasting! This means a better shelf life, which translates into more money in your pocket. Quit throwing away your hard-earned dollars on fish oil that provides little aid to your health and quickly becomes rancid.

Krill-TS is quite possibly the healthiest and longest lasting omega-3 EPA/DHA product on the market!

The krill oil found in Krill-TS contains Vitamin A, Vitamin D, and an antioxidant known as astaxanthin; none of these can be found in regular fish oil! – So let’s put this all together, because the real question is…

What can Krill-TS do for you?

Krill-TS can possibly:
  • Improve your heart-health (1) (2)
  • Lubricate joints for greater fluidity during strenuous exercise (3)
  • Increase fat loss (2)
  • Skyrocket your immune system (9)
  • Manage glucose levels (1)
  • Optimize your skin health (4)
  • Improve liver function (2)
  • Battle signs of aging (4)
  • Offer positive mood support (5)
  • Protect your body’s cell membranes (8)
  • Promote healthy nervous system function and optimize brain function (5) (6) (7)
Krill oilis fast becoming the most popular omega-3 product on the market today, and Krill-TS is of the highest caliber krill oil available!

Pick up Krill-TS and join others in the exhilarating experience of a healthier and happier lifestyle!

Wow. I actually didn't know any of this. Def learned something today Rick thanks for the solid post. Got a bottle on order so i'll probably post up a review in a few days.
 
Fish oil is tried and true. Is Krill superior? Maybe. Maybe not.

We'll know some day.

Simple logic would tell you that it's at the very worst, it's probably "similar" in efficacy.

That's my spin anyway.

That said, NTBM is a killer company and I wish them well with their new product.
 
I switched to Krill about a month ago. So much easier taking 2 caps a day vs. the 10-15, not to mention the reduced calories and fish burps! Great stuff to add to Omega-3 supplementation to get the added benefits of Krill as well as EPA/DHA.
 
great read buddy!!!
 
no appreciable difference. many supps that are known in the common health world get "discovered" in the bodybuilding realm and are magically worth so much more

Do you know where it's sourced from? Apparently the sources make a significant difference in terms of efficacy, Antarctic Krill being the best by far.

Also, look at the serving size. That is half of the Krill-TS. Considering NTBM has 15% off all the time with a coupon code and free shipping, Krill-TS is a better value and is better quality.

Very true, just look at Ayurvedic medicine, that has provided countless herbs that companies have turned into supplements. Look no further than AnaBeta as a prime example.

I just recently read that it's best that way to get EPA/DHA and the benefits of Krill. I'm still trying to find ground truth on that though...
 
???

What's the ratio of EPA/DHA frm one cap of NTBM Krill verses Standard Fish Oil? So how much EPA/DHA deos one cap of NTBM Krill have?

That I'm sure is true. If I were allergic to shellfish I wouldn't take Krill oil. Short of that there are many benefits, and I like that you can take a much much smaller dose than fish oil and reap more benefits

While Fish Oil has more EPA/DHA per dollar, it's the unique aspects of krill that make it different/better.

I think ideally you'd take Fish Oil to get your optimum dose of EPA/DHA, and then add Krill for the additional benefits unique to krill. Just my thoughts though, it's not definitvely the way to go.

A lot of good information there. I know fish oil would be a cheaper route, but there are so many advantages to Krill. Just the fact that I wouldn't be having to pop fish oil caps all day long would be a plus. 1 to 2 caps a day and you are golden!!

Benefits of Krill vs. Fish Oil (from my limited research)
0. No fish burps, ever.

1. Guaranteed Purity - no PCB or heavy metals due to Krill only eating algae and not other fish.

2. Better Absorption - DHA/EPA in Krill is attached as a phsospholipid (the kind in your cells), and so it absorbs more readily as opposed to regular fish oil.

3. Contains a Strong Antioxidant Astaxanthin - Research has shown a lot of good effects, including accelerated fat burning, greater fat loss, and enhanced endurance. Astaxanthin protects the system that transports fat into the mitochondria of muscle cells (also the system carnitine is involved in, good for stacking).

4. Better Cholesterol Support - Krill has been shown to reduce cholesterol and blood triglyceride levels in rats given krill oil for six weeks as compared to those just getting fish oil (35% reduction for cholesterol vs. 20%, and 20% reduction for triglycerides vs. 10%). So basically twice as effective.

5. Reduces Symptoms of PMS - Got some Krill for my wife, she appreciated the thought, I appreciated the effects!

6. Renewable Source - largest bio-mass in the ocean, no chance of over-harvesting (Capt. Planet would be proud).
 
I didn't know it reduced the symptoms of PMS. Now I know I need to get some...lol
 
Thanks ;)
 
Here's a good study on Krill vs Fish.

University of California, Berkeley, California, USA.


Abstract

The omega-3 fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are orthomolecular, conditionally essential nutrients that enhance quality of life and lower the risk of premature death. They function exclusively via cell membranes, in which they are anchored by phospholipid molecules. DHA is proven essential to pre- and postnatal brain development, whereas EPA seems more influential on behavior and mood. Both DHA and EPA generate neuroprotective metabolites. In double-blind, randomized, controlled trials, DHA and EPA combinations have been shown to benefit attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD), autism, dyspraxia, dyslexia, and aggression. For the affective disorders, meta-analyses confirm benefits in major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder, with promising results in schizophrenia and initial benefit for borderline personality disorder. Accelerated cognitive decline and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) correlate with lowered tissue levels of DHA/EPA, and supplementation has improved cognitive function. Huntington disease has responded to EPA. Omega-3 phospholipid supplements that combine DHA/EPA and phospholipids into the same molecule have shown marked promise in early clinical trials. Phosphatidylserine with DHA/EPA attached (Omega-3 PS) has been shown to alleviate AD/HD symptoms. Krill omega-3 phospholipids, containing mostly phosphatidylcholine (PC) with DHA/EPA attached, markedly outperformed conventional fish oil DHA/EPA triglycerides in double-blind trials for premenstrual syndrome/dysmenorrhea and for normalizing blood lipid profiles. Krill omega-3 phospholipids demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity, lowering C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in a double-blind trial. Utilizing DHA and EPA together with phospholipids and membrane antioxidants to achieve a triple cell membrane synergy may further diversify their currently wide range of clinical applications.
 
Just started taking the stuff. Excited for the effects. I really think this stuff will be bigger than fish oil in the next few years.
 
Good post Milas! :goodpost:

I keep seeing all the info suggesting that krill is the better way to go

That's a pretty bold statement. While I think its popularity will increase dramatically, I don't think it will get more popular than fish oil just because of the price point and how long people have been taking fish oil. It is tried and true for sure, with or without the added benefits that come from krill
 
Krill-TS is some quality stuff from RLS and has a lot of health benefits!
Just bought a bottle a few days ago. :)
 
That is exactly what I do, I take Krill in the am, and then post MMA sparring, I take a fish oil encetric coated gel with at least 250mg of DHA and I belive 450 of EPA for healing of the brain from inflammation caused by strikes to head. Krill is far superior but does posses less EFA's.
 
I have a shellfish allergy but I would take it if I could. Might try with some benydril handy :D
 
Use with caution if you have a shellfish allergy, I wouldn't recommend it.
 
Thanks Milas for your concern for my health. I will use it with caution. I have on an occasion eaten a small grab leg after some bynedril and been ok. So I'm hoping this won't be any worse I guess. But my wife will be around in case I go into shock lol. But thanks again for looking out. I can always just go back to using a high potency fish oil.

I just know anaphalactic allergies are not something to mess around with! Hope it works well for you either way!
 
I'm excited to burn through my last 2 bottles of fish oil so I can make the switch. I'm definitely trying to take advantage of a lot more of the higher quality staple supplements (namely once my thyroid issue is ironed out so I can actually notice effects) like krill oil, my multi, probiotic, etc.

You know you can take fish oil with krill oil, that way you get plenty of EPA/DHA and the benefits of krill. That's probably the optimal approach tbh.

Are you a rep for NTBM?
If so, you need to disclose the fact.
This is a slimy practice that shouldn't be tolerated.
 
I guess I'll be the one who plays the devil's advocate on this one, as I've previously looked into whether to add Krill Oil to my daily supplement list. Why? Well my lipids were out-of-whack and I have coronary artery plaque so I pretty much look into most anything that comes down the pike as being beneficial for me in stopping the progression of plaque.

Although tempted by what one can term a great marketing campaign by NKO (and the marketing emails from Dr. Mercola), I've yet to try Krill Oil. Why? Because it is too expensive to justify what appears to be its only advantage---the astaxanthin. I don't think you'll find any other real proven advantage of Krill over Fish Oil in the actual numbers from the studies out there, even with them being sponsored/funded by the Krill Oil companies. The studies do not show that it has better effect on plasma n-3 levels; they do show essentially similar results as Fish oil on blood lipids.

For example, there's a recent study published in the Nov. 2010 issue of Lipids Journal by Aker BioMarine, the makers of Superba krill oil. The study is titled Metabolic Effects of Krill Oil are Essentially Similar to Those of Fish Oil but at Lower Dose of EPA and DHA, in Healthy Volunteers. Their study found that there is no difference between Krill oil and Fish oil when it comes to blood lipids like cholesterol, triglycerides, etc. The study shows that these same benefits can be had from Krill where the EPA + DHA dose in the Krill oil was 62.8% of that in the Fish oil.

So the study from the maker of Superba Krill Oil says that Krill Oil is approximately 1.5 times better than Fish Oil. What's not in the study? That to equalize the benefits even with only having to take 62.8% dosage compared to fish oil doesn't justify having to pay 8 - 10 times the price.

That same study also found this: Krill oil increases the level of Arachidonic acid (AA) in your body. Too much AA can cause inflammation. Healthy levels of AA, no problem. Too much? More joint pain?

My post count is not high enough to post a link to the study, but it can be found at superlink.com. Try this number 270j241473471664 for content.

I'm not saying Krill oil is bad, I believe it provides the same benefits of fish oil with the added anti-oxidant benefit of astaxanthin. I take both high dose fish oil and astaxanthin daily because I believe that they are beneficial to my health and will help me in my battle. I guess my point is this: Krill Oil is beneficial, but I can't find any research that actually shows incremental or additional benefits to justify the additional cost versus separately dosing fish oil and astaxanthin.
 
Oh, as far as the mercury/purity, etc. issue---all the fish oil I've purchased says it's from anchovy and sardines. Aren't they on the bottom of the food chain? If that's the case, doesn't that make the mercury/purity comparison really a non-issue?

About as much of a moot point as when they say they're PCB free, and they are tested as having higher than allowed levels of PCB.

Not sure I follow? I was talking about the comparison of Krill Oil vs Fish Oil and the validity of the marketing I've seen out there mentioning that with Krill Oil you don't have the mercury issue, etc. All the fish oil I've bought indicates that it contains anchovy and sardines, which are on the bottom of the food chain. Do you feel that there is a PCB comparison issue between Krill oil and fish oil from anchovy and sardines?

I did read about an environmental activist group that found 3 out of 10 labels tested to have more than the 90 nanograms of PCB as designated by California law as being the allowed daily exposure threshold. I could be mistaken, but I'm thinking the 3 brands they found to exceed the California limits were from either Cod Liver Oil and one from Salmon?

As to Fish Oil, may be sound reasoning to stick with Fish Oil that comes from anchovy and sardines.

I meant you don't know how much PCB is in the fish oil you take, whereas with krill it's not an issue. The lower in the food chain, the better, but not entirely sure they're safe.

Just last year the world's largest fish oil producer was brought up on litigation for having exceedingly high (10x) levels of PCBs for cancer risk, and they haven't even calculated how damaging it is for birth defects.

10 PRODUCTS TESTED
n Nature Made cod liver oil and odorless fish oil; manufacturer Pharmavite LLC in Northridge
n Twinlab Norwegian cod liver oil and emulsified Norwegian cod liver oil; manufactured in American Fork, Utah
n Now Foods shark liver oil, double strength cod liver oil and salmon oil; manufactured in Bloomingdale, Ill.
n Solgar 100 percent pure Norwegian shark liver oil complex and Norwegian cod liver oil; manufactured in Leonia, N.J.
n GNC liquid Norwegian cod liver oil; manufactured in Pittsburgh

Lab tests of these 10 fish oil supplements containing omega-3 fatty acids found they contain some of the 209 polychlorinated biphenyl compounds known to cause cancer and birth defects.

PCBs became subject to California's Prop. 65 warning requirement in 1989 for cancer and in 1991 for birth defects. Once widely used in electrical transformers, PCBs were banned by Congress in 1979, but the Great Lakes and the Hudson River remain contaminated despite cleanup efforts. The chemical, which was made to last a long time without breaking down, accumulates in the food chain.
