In part one, I discussed the benefits of fish oil for brain health. Now, we are going to discuss Krill Oil’s superior benefit for brain health. Let’s get started.

What is Krill Oil?
Krill oil has fish oils attached to Phosphatidylcholine and also contains the powerful antioxidant astaxanthin. This has many advantages and even more benefits for the brain than fish oil.
Fatty ocean fish and crustaceans have omega-3 fatty acids which are commonly referred to as fish oils. You take Fish Oil capsules for their omega-3 content but you can also take Krill Oil because of it’s Omega-3 Content. However, Krill – because of the way the Omega-3 Fatty acids are supplied (they are attached to phosphatides) – has additional advantages over fish oils.

Here are the differences:

In today’s episode, Jerry Hickey, Ph. discusses the importance of fish oils in your diet, specifically krill oil in the support of heart health.
A new study says the risk of persistent wheeze or asthma was about 7% lower in children of mothers who received fish oil supplements during the third trimester. Here is what you need to know about the study and fish oils -The oils from fatty …
A new study, conducted by the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) entitled, “The Ranger Resilience and Improved Performance of phospholipid bound Omega-3s” (RRIPP-3), will determine if omega-3 supplementation, Krill Oil, can improve cognitive processes in high-performing warfighters from the US Army. The trial started August 1, 2016 and will last until spring of 2018.*
The Study
The study’s lead researcher Bernadette Marriott, PhD, from MUSC says the purpose of this study is to investigate whether or not “supplementation with krill oil concentrate can improve specific cognitive processes that underlie key elements of soldier performance that may have a measurable impact on performance and mental health under the extreme psychophysiological stress of military office training”.
Numerous studies have shown omega-3s to benefit individuals suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as seen in this study published in the Journal of Affective Disorders. The purpose of studying fish oil specifically, according to Dr. Travis Turner, a neuropsychologist and MUSC co-principal investigator, is because it is “phospholipid-bound and is reported to be absorbed more readily”
Researchers of the study will be seeking answers to these three questions, according to the South Carolina Research Studies Directory –
Dr. Marriott explains, “In the big picture, intake of omega-3s is essential for living a productive and healthy life. For instance, sustained attention, inhibition and cognitive control are essential for everyday things like safe driving, parenting, academic achievement and handling challenges at work.”
Jerry Hickey, R. Ph, Pharmacist and Scientific Director of InVite® Health says, “The oils from fatty fish supply amazing health benefits. It’s true – fish is “brain food”. The key component in fish oil is their EPA-DHA omega-3 fatty acid content. Fish oils are essential for memory and cognitive function and to protect the brain.”
