Krill oil supplement

Does anyone know or have any direct experience with krill oil?

I never heard of it until about one month ago when I client mentioned it to me and how he attributed it to many health improvements he experienced. He wasn't trying to sell me anything. Actually I had sent him a link to our Discuss Fitness website and when he learned of my interest in fitness, he shared this with me.

Now I'm seeing it pop up here and there.

Apparently it is known for its Omega 3 properties.

Anybody know anything?

The krill is a small shrimp-like marine crustacean. There are 85 types of krill present in the world's oceans, the most abundant is the Antarctic Krill (Euphasia Superba).

They are eaten by fish, birds, and especially baleen (whale-bone) whales. Large whales, such as the humpback, can consume as much as 2 tons of krill each day.

The krill are of great importance as a source of protein, and are probably the most underused biomass on earth.

PurKrill Oil provides a rich source of esterified astaxanthin extracted from Antarctic krill. Astaxanthin has a unique and superior antioxidant capacity. Astaxanthin has been scientifically proven 10 times more effective as an antioxidant than carotene and 100-500 times more effective than Vitamin E. Independent ORAC evaluation confirms that the antioxidant capacity of PurKrill Oil is more than 300 times greater than that of measured Vitamin A and Vitamin E and 48 times greater than Omega-3 18:12 fish oil.

In human studies, PurKrill supplementation supported healthy joints, the heart, lipid and blood sugar levels, energy production, athletic performance, liver function, and eased women's PMS symptoms.
