krill is a reddish crustacean that lives in extremely cold Antarctic waters and contains Omega-3 and astaxanthin.

When it comes to krill oil, many middle-aged, silver-haired people or housewives will immediately associate it with the recent TV advertisements, which makes people itch to lose a round and keep up with this craze, but they don't know what to tamper with; What exactly is krill? Is its efficacy really that magical?

krill contains Omega-3 and astaxanthin, which helps brain activation and has strong antioxidant capacity

Nutritionist Zheng Shenjun said that krill is a reddish crustacean that lives in extremely cold Antarctic waters and contains Omega-3 and astaxanthin. Krill, like fish oil, contains Omega-3 EPA and DHA, so it is considered that it may help the brain to recognize and metabolize blood lipids, and even be related to anti-inflammation, but its actual effect remains to be verified. In daily life, you can also get enough Omega-3 from deep-sea fish, such as tuna, salmon, mackerel, sardines or algae. However, shrimp lycopene mainly has anti-inflammatory effect, and its antioxidant capacity exceeds that of vitamin C, vitamin E, Q1, etc., which is not only lipophilic but also hydrophilic. Besides shrimp and crabs, salmon is also a good source, and vegetarians can also get it from red algae.

krill oil is better than fish oil? There is a big difference in human absorbability

Many people can't help wondering, there are EPA, DHA and fish oil in krill oil. What are the differences between them? Nutritionist Zheng Junjun said that the main difference lies in the structure of "phosphatidylcholine", which is more conducive to improving absorption and utilization rate; To put it another way, it's like fish oil needs to go through the formalities to buy tickets, while krill oil is free of tickets and can walk in from the main entrance. However, there are also research results that hold different views.

nutritionist Zheng junjun added that the overall content of a nutrient determines the first step of eating, but the next step of absorption and utilization really plays a role; After combining these two factors, krill oil's CP value is also one of the focuses that are often noticed.

Health care products are healthy only if they are taken wisely

Zheng Junjun, a nutritionist, reminds that if the average adult wants to take EPA and DHA at the same time, shrimp lycopene can be regarded as its additional value. If you are allergic to crustaceans, you can consider ingesting deep-sea fish with red algae oil, so that you can ingest Omega-3 and astaxanthin at the same time. The difference is only in the overall concentration and absorption and utilization efficiency. It is particularly important to note that before following the trend, we should also think about what the individual's supplementary needs are in order to prescribe the right medicine to ensure our own health.
