Benefits of krill oil consumption[edit]
Apart from being better absorbed, number of clinical studies revealed that krill oil is beneficial for human health in multiple indications. For example, beneficial effects on improving the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) were demonstrated in two clinical trials (one against fish oil and one open-label as a component with other compounds)[13][14] In these studies, krill oil was able to improve PMS symptoms of anxiety, mood, reduction in food craving and more. Another benefit for krill oil was demonstrated in amelioration of inflammation. Krill oil consumption led to a reduction in C-reactive protein (CRP) and subjects with cardiovascular disease and/or rheumatoid arthritis and/or osteoarthritis reported reduction in pain, stiffness and improved function.[15] The most studied effects of krill oil are those related to various parameters associated with heart health and metabolic syndrome. Effect of blood triglyceride [16][17][18] and cholesterol reduction are associated with risk of heart disease. Reduction in blood glucose and HbA1C are both associated with reduced risk of diabetes. Additionally, a cognitive benefit of krill oil consumption, in elderly (61-73 years)subjects, was demonstrated.[19]
