Yesterday, Dr. Mehmet Oz, the famed host of The Dr. Oz Show did a segment on the powerful cardiovascular benefits of Krill Oil and compared it to regular fish oil. Dr. Oz is known as a massive proponent of fish oil as a source of Omega 3’s, and in yesterday’s episode he said that krill is “better”.
“Krill oil is the new red hot omega 3.”
In the almost 5 minute spot, Dr. Oz explains that fish don’t actually make omega 3’s, they eat omega 3s – one of the things they eat as a source is krill. Another point he makes using an animation is that fish oil omega 3s are not released and absorbed as well as krill oil.
When it comes to cholesterol, Dr. Oz talks about how krill reduces bad cholesterol better than fish oil and in turn reduces plaque in ones arteries.
He also talks about a study that says that 1,000 mg of krill has the same omega 3 affect as 3,000 mg of fish oil. The study he is referring to is the Deutsch et. al, 2004 study done with Neptune Krill Oil (NKO®). Click here to view the paper. In the study, several doses of NKO® were used ranging from 1-3g vs. placebo and fish oil 3g.
Considering the fish oil market is well over $1billion, this kind of endorsement will certainly help Neptune Technologies and Bioressources as the company was recently granted the US patent covering the composition of omega-3 phospholipids comprising polyunsaturated fatty acids. This is a main ingredient found in “all recognized krill oils”.
The Dr. Oz show is the number one rated talk show on TV, with millions of viewers tuning in every week.
