GREGORY CHANDLER, ATTORNEY AT LAW, SPEAKS ON KRILL OIL

Fish oil supplements are a staple for the health conscious. Fish oil supplements that contain moderate amounts of docasahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentenoic acid (EPA) are extremely helpful for promoting healthy heart, joint and brain function. Fish oil has also been shown to improve cholesterol levels and lower blood pressure.

I use fish oil for joint lubrication. Just think of the function of motor oil in an automobile. The motor oil is used to lubricate the engine parts.

Until recently, the usual source for the omega-3 fats of DHA and EPA were fatty fish, fish oils or cod liver oil. Over the past few years, natural krill oil (NKO) has attracted attention as an alternative to fish oil. NKO contains long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids that appear to positively influence the endocannabinoids. Endocannabinoids are a unique signaling system that controls appetite, pain sensation, mood and memory. NKO is also thought to reduce body fat levels more so than regular fish oil.

A recommended dose is a 300-mg dose of NKO either once or twice per day.
