Better than Fish Oil?

OK, some people follow the stock market or baseball or Oprah ---for me it's fish-oil. And now it seems as if fish-oil has been upstaged. By Krill oil. This is an excellent article. Check the comments too.

Some excerpts for those of you with click aversion syndrome...
"A number of studies have shown that krill oil is tremendously effective in reducing LDL-cholesterol, raising HDL-cholesterol (up to 44% in some cases), and lowering blood sugar. It has been shown to be effective in treating the pain and inflammation from rheumatoid arthritis and aches and pains in general. One large study showed that krill oil has tremendous benefits in terms of symptom reduction in PMS and dysmenorrhea. And it has been shown to be effective in the treatment of adult ADHD. In all these studies krill oil was tested against fish oil and not simply a placebo."

"Krill oil contains vitamin E, vitamin A, vitamin D and canthaxanthin, which is — like astaxanthin — a potent anti-oxidant. The anti-oxidant potency of krill oil is such that when compared to fish oil in terms of ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorptance Capacity) values, it was found to be 48 times more potent than fish oil."
(Note, may want to be careful if you are allergic to shrimp.)

    This I shall definitely try. Is it available now at the local drug stores or health food stores?

    Don't now about that area :-) Probably Health Food stores. Or online. You can find them at amazon or House of Nutrition or SmartBomb Source Naturals is a good brand, as is Jarrow. But I think they all get them from the same place anyway.
