Neptune Krill Oil

Handful of Genuine Neptune Krill Oil

If you visit your local health food store on online retailer you may find a variety of krill oil supplements to choose from.

One of the first krill oil supplements to come on the market place is called Neptune krill oil (NKO); and most of health benefits are based on the double-blind studies using NKO.

Antarctic Neptune Krill Oil is the purest form of krill oil extracted from Antarctic krill. Right now, there's only one company that produces this high quality krill oil: Neptune Technologies and Bioresources, Inc. This company uses a patented extraction process to produce the highest quality Neptune Krill Oil.

Genuine Neptune Krill Oil was found to be highest in:

• Phospholipids

• Omega 3 fatty acids (DHA & EPA)

• Antioxidants

Antarctic Neptune Krill Oil FAQ

1. What's the Difference Between Regular Krill Oil and Genuine Neptune Krill Oil?

Neptune Technologies uses a proprietary, patented process to produce the highest quality krill oil.

This oil is so pure that Neptune Technologies supplies their patented krill oil to a number of different supplement companies. These companies then 'repackage' and sell it under their own brand names - but it's still called Neptune Krill Oil on the label.

2. How to Tell You're Getting Genuine Antarctic Neptune Krill Oil?

Most bottle labels will specify what type of krill oil is used. You can also look for the NKO logo on your bottle.

3. Are There Side Effects From Taking Neptune Krill Oil?

Neptune krill oil is considered safe to take, unless you have certain allergies or are on specific medications:

• People allergic to shellfish should avoid using krill oil.

• People who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or on anticoagulant medication should consult their physicians before using Neptune krill oil.

4. Reasons Why Buying Neptune Krill Oil is the Best Krill Oil:

• It's Pharmaceutical-grade krill oil.

• Has a "Proprietary Molecular Composition" (NKO has 3 international patents and pending in 33 to 35 countries).
