Antioxidants—Amazing Cell Protection from Head to Toe
By Peyton Posey Kennedy • Jun 1st, 2009 • Category: General Health, Health Articles, Monday Edition ArchiveScientific studies show that krill oil contains a powerful team of antioxidants, which are not only beneficial for your continued health, but also sustain the shelf life of the oil. Krill oil provides you with an abundant supply of vitamins A, B-complex choline, E and D, plus essential minerals such as potassium, sodium and zinc.
However, the most potent antioxidant in krill oil is astaxanthin. This nutrient is one of the most powerful antioxidants known to mankind! It’s been shown to be 100 times more potent than vitamin E!
Astaxanthin is the nutrient responsible for fighting free radicals within the body and protecting the blood-brain barrier—which means it protects the eyes, brain and central nervous system from free radical damage.
Free radicals can also be referred to as “age robbers” because if left to roam around unchecked in your body they can leave you vulnerable to dozens of health problems—plus unprotected from the ravages of premature aging.
In fact, this mega-antioxidant can protect every cell in your body including:
- Eyes: To protect your retina and help preserve your vision for decades to come!
- Brain: Memory improves… clearer thoughts… and you can focus and concentrate again!
- Sex drive: Low libido can stem from premature aging caused by a lack of sufficient antioxidants. Boost your antioxidant level and your sex drive soars!
- Skin, hair and nails: Wrinkles fade… hair feels softer and your weak splitting fingernails become hard as… NAILS!
But that’s not all! Astaxanthin protects your heart by blocking lipid peroxidation that can lead to plaque build-up in your arteries. What’s more, like omega-3s bond to the brain-saving phospholipids for increased absorption… omega-3s also bond to the antioxidant astaxanthin, therefore increasing its potent effect!
What about the fishy side effects associated with fish oil? Gone! Thanks to the antioxidants in krill oil, the ingredients have a much longer shelf life, ensuring an elimination of the fishy aftertaste and fish burps.
Toss out those fish oil capsules... quick!
Are you taking fish oil to fight your inflammation and ward off serious health problems? That's got to be a good thing, right?
Not so fast! Fish oil capsules are manufactured from large predatory fish that are often "filled to the gills" with dangerous toxins. With every fish oil capsule, you could be getting a whopping dose of PCBs, mercury and other heavy metals.
Fortunately, there's an alternative that's safer and even more potent. Krill oil—unknown in the United States until recently—is made from tiny creatures that abound in the pure waters of the Antarctic Ocean. That means krill oil is nearly 100% toxin-free!
