 A December, 2004 study published in Alternative Medicine Review found that taking 3g of Krill Oil per day was more effective than taking 3g of Fish Oil, a placebo or lesser amounts of Krill Oil at reducing blood levels of triglycerides (fat), LDL (bad cholesterol) and glucose (sugar) and increasing HDL (good cholesterol). Those taking 3g of Krill Oil per day lowered their glucose (blood sugar) levels by 5.6%, whereas fish oil lowered glucose 3.3% and the plecebo had no significant effect. The results on blood lipids (fats) are shown in the table below, with 3g per day of Krill Oil performing dramatically better than fish oil or the placebo. The study consisted 120 individuals, all with high levels of cholesterol (over 194) and with ability to maintain healthy diets. 30 people were assigned to each study group: 1g of Krill Oil per day, 3g of Krill Oil per day, 3g of Fish Oil per day or a placebo. The oils and placebo were given for 90 days and the results monitored for another 90 days. 3g of Krill Oil per day lowered Total Cholesterol by -17.90%, LDL (bad cholestol) by -39.15%, and Triglycerides by -26.51%. HDL (good cholesterol) was raised by 59.64%, one of the most positive impacts nutrition and supplementation can have on the body. For the full research article click here... In another study, conducted at the University of Montreal in 2006, it was found that adding Krill Oil to a Statin treatment, such as Lipitor, improved cholesterol better than the Statin treatment alone. Krill Oil combined with the Statin decreased LDL by 37% and raised HDL by 51%, changing the ratio of good to bad cholesterol 46% more than the Statin treatment alone.
